When transporting a load that protrudes from
R
your vehicle, you should not use Parking Pilot
Never use Parking Pilot when snow chains are
R
installed.
Always pay attention to the specified tire
R
pressure for your vehicle. This has a direct
influence on the parking characteristics of the
vehicle.
Use Parking Pilot for parking spaces that are:
parallel or at right angles to the direction of
R
travel
on straight roads, not bends
R
on the same level as the road, e.g. not on the
R
pavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the detection range of
Parking Pilot will not be detected when the park-
ing space is measured. These are not taken into
account when the parking procedure is calcula-
ted, e.g. overhanging loads, tail sections or load-
ing ramps of trucks.
G
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection range:
Parking Pilot may steer in too early
R
the vehicle may not stop in front of these
R
objects
You may cause a collision as a result. There is
a risk of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate Parking Pilot.
For further information on the detection range
(
page 170).
Y
Parking Pilot does not assist you parking in
spaces at a right angle to the direction of travel
if:
two parking spaces are located directly next
R
to one another
the parking space is directly next to a low
R
obstacle such as a low curb
you forward-park
R
Driving systems
Parking Pilot does not assist you parking in
spaces parallel with or at a right angle to the
direction of travel if:
the parking space is on a curb
R
the system reads the parking space as being
R
blocked, for example by foliage or grass pav-
ing blocks
the area is too small for the vehicle to maneu-
R
ver into
the parking space is bordered by an obstacle,
R
e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer

Parking Pilot is activated automatically when
driving forward. The system is operational at
speeds of up to approximately 22 mph
(35 km/h). While in operation, the system inde-
pendently locates and measures parking spaces
on both sides of the vehicle.
Parking Pilot will only detect parking spaces
which are:
parallel or at right angles to the direction of
R
travel
that are parallel to the direction of travel and
R
at least 59 in (1.5 m) wide
that are parallel to the direction of travel and
R
at least 39.5 in (1.0 m) longer than your vehi-
cle
at right angles to the direction of travel and at
R
least 39.5 in (1.0 m) wider than your vehicle
i
Note that Parking Pilot PARKTRONIC cannot
measure the depth of parking spaces if they
are at right angles to the direction of travel.
You will need to judge whether your vehicle
will fit into the parking space.
When driving at speeds below 19 mph
(30 km/h), you will see parking symbol ; as a
