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.

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

uphill gradient.
RIf yo u ha veins talled snow chains.
Pa rking Pilot may also display parking spaces
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:
