Messages in the information display
The parking aid is part of the park assist system, therefore the information and
safety guidelines » page 106, Parking aid must be read and observed.
The park assist system helps you to park in a suitable parallel parking space be-
tween two vehicles or behind a vehicle.
After switching on the ignition and when driving at a speed of up to 30 km/h, the
park assist system automatically searches for suitable parking spaces on the driv-
er's and passenger's side of the vehicle.
During the parking procedure the park assist only takes over the steering move-
ments, the pedals continue to be operated by the driver.
If the park assist system is switched on, a yellow indicator light illuminates up in
the button » Fig. 101.
The function of the system is based on:
›
the measurement and evaluation of the size of parking spaces when driving,
›
the definition of the correct position of the vehicle for parking,
›
the calculation of the line on which the vehicle drives backwards into the park-
ing space,
›
the automatic turning of the front wheels when parking.
WARNING
The park assist does not take away the responsibility from the driver when
■
parking.
External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on the park assist sys-
■
tem and parking aid. Under unfavourable conditions, objects or people may
not be recognised.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind or on the kerb, the park assist guides your
■
vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the wheel rims of
your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects, such as
■
wire mesh fences, powder snow etc., cannot be recognised by the system.
108
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the
■
circumference of the wheels. The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fit-
108
ted with the wheel size approved by the manufacturer. If wheels other than
109
those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the
vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoided by readjusting
the system at a specialist garage. Under certain circumstances, the system may
not function correctly, for example, if the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or a
temporary spare wheel.
Note
The traction control system (TCS) must always be switched on when parking.
■
Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to ve-
■
hicles with a factory-fitted towing device). This is why it is not possible to reverse
into a parking space with the help of the park assist system when towing a trailer.
If the sensors find a suitable parking space, they store its parameters until an-
■
other suitable parking space has been found or until a distance of 10 m had been
driven after finding the parking space. This is why it is possible to switch on the
park assist after driving past the parking space and the information on whether
this parking space is suitable for parking appears in the information display.
