2016 MERCEDES-BENZ B-Class ELECTRIC stop start

As soon as the parking procedure is com-
plete, thePark
AssistSwitchedOffmes-
sage appears and a warning tone sounds. The
vehicle is now parked.
Active Parking Assist no longer supports you
with steering interventions and brake appli-
cations. When Active Parking Assist is fin-
ished, you must steer and brake again your-
self. PARKTRONIC is still available.
Parking tips:
RThe way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of the
location. It may be the case that Active
Parking Assist guides you too far into a
parking space, or not far enough into it. In
some cases, it may also lead you across or
onto the curb. If necessary, you should can-
cel the parking procedure with Active Park-
ing Assist.
RYou can also select preselect transmission position D. The vehicle redirects and does
not drive as far into the parking space.
Should the transmission change take place
too early, the parking procedure will be
canceled. A sensible parking position can
no longer be achieved from this position.
Exiting a parking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can sup-
port you when you exit the parking space:
Ryou need to have parked using Active Park-
ing Assist.
Rthe border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear. A
curb is too small, for example.
Rthe border of the parking space must not be
too wide, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45° to the starting
position as it is maneuvering into the park-
ing space.
Ra maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
(1.0 m) must be available. Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
XStart the engine.
XRelease the electric parking brake.
XSwitch on the turn signal in the direction
you will drive out of the parking space.

ing a parking space. Otherwise Active Park-
ing Assist will be canceled.
XStop when PARKTRONIC sounds the con-
tinuous warning tone, if not before.
XDepending on the message or as required,
shift the transmission to position Dor R.
Active Parking Assist immediately steers in
the other direction. The Park Assist
