140 Driving and operating
If the driver does not stop the vehicle
within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or 6 metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.
Parking guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
6 metres for perpendicular parking
slots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Pay always attention on the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take
over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge.
Automatic steering is cancelled in this
event.
