Parking Pilot
Fu nction of Parking Pilot
Pa rking Pilot is an elect ronic pa rking assis tance
sy stem which uses ultrasound and is automati‐
cally activated during forw ard tra vel. The sy stem
is operational at speeds of up toappr oximately
22 mph (35 km/h). When all the conditions are
fulfilled, thec symbol appears in the multi‐
function display and the sy stem automatically
sear ches for and measu res parking spaces on
bo th sides of theve hicle parallel and perpendic‐
ular tothe direction of tra vel. If Parking Pilot is
activated, suitable parking spaces are displa yed
in the multimedia sy stem. The ësymbol
appears in the multifunction displa y.The ar rows
show which side of thero ad free parking spaces
are located.
The parking space and, if necessar y,the parking
direction can be selected as desired. Parking
Pilot calculates a suitable vehicle path and
assists you in the parking and exiting procedure.
Ve hicles with automatic transmission: Park‐
ing Pilot accelerates, brakes, steers theve hicle
and changes gear.

Pa rking Pilot sy stem limitations
Objects located abo veor below the de tection
ra nge of Parking Pilot are not de tected when the
parking space is being measured. These are also
not taken into account when the parking maneu‐
ve r is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads, over‐
hangs or loading ramp s of truc ksorthe bounda‐
ri es of the parking space. In some circums tan‐ ces,
Parking Pilot may therefore guide you into
th e parking space prematurely.

WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Parking Pilot
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
RPa rking Pilot may steer too early.
RVe hicles with automatic transmis‐
sion: Thevehicle may not stop in front of
th ese objects.
This could cause a collision.
#In these situations, do not use Parking
Pilot.
Sn owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccuratel y.Pa rking

th at are not suitable for parking, e.g.:
RPa rking spaces where parking is prohibited.
RPa rking spaces on unsuitable sur faces.
Pa rking Pilot will not assist youwit h parking
spaces at right angles tothe direction of tr avel
in thefo llowing situations:
RIf two parking spaces are located immedi‐
ately next toeach other.
