Park Assist
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Prerequisites
Looking for a parking space
Driving into a parking space
Driving out of a parking space
Troubleshooting
Park Assist shows parking spaces which are suitable for parking and assists the driver when driving
into and out of parking spaces.
Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control Park Distance Control
Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes
and brake Safety notes on the parking systems
WARNING
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted to do so by
the system.
Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.
NOTICE
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerbs and other objects as guidance. Make sure that the tyres
and wheel rims are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the parking procedure
in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
The traction control system (TCS) must be switched on Brake support systems
Distance: maintain a distance of 0.5 2.0 metres when driving past the parking space.
The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the road): not above
40 km/h (25 mph).
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the road): not above
20 km/h (12 mph).
Maximum speed: 7 km/h (4 mph). An automatic braking intervention can take place when driving
into a parking space.
No trailer is connected electrically with the factory-fitted towing bracket Notes on towing a
trailer
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again.
WARNING
Do not let the automatic braking intervention triggered by Park Assist tempt you to take any risks
while driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, automatic braking intervention may
function only in a limited way or not at all.
You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress the brake
pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
Looking for a parking space
Fig. 130 On the instrument cluster display: display of parking modes.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Park Assist has three parking modes Fig. 130(illustration).
Reverse parallel parking.Reverse perpendicular parking.Forward perpendicular parking.
Drive slowly past a row of parked vehicles, paying attention to the traffic.
Press the button. Park Assist automatically searches for a suitable parking space on the front
passenger side.
Stop when Park Assist displays a recommended parking mode on the instrument cluster display.
Drive into the parking space when a corresponding prompt Fig.
Driving into a parking space
If you want Park Assist to search for a parking space on the opposite side of the road, operate the
turn signal for the corresponding side.
Changing parking mode
If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature view.
They can be selected in turn by repeatedly pressing the button. Park Assist will switch itself off
after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is offered
when the button is pressed again.
If you wish to park in a perpendicular parking space in forward direction, select Forward
perpendicular parking Fig. 130. Otherwise the vehicle will reverse into the perpendicular
parking space.
Park Assist can be activated retrospectively. If the vehicle has previously driven past a suitable
parking space, it will be displayed.

Prerequisites
Press the button.
Use the turn signal lever to select the direction (left or right) in which you would like to drive out of
the parking space.
Select reverse gear.
Release the steering wheel when the following message is shown: Steer. intervention active.
Monitor vehicle area.
Accelerate carefully.
Brake when an acoustic signal sounds, the display lights up or until the prompt to drive forward
appears on the instrument cluster display.
Depress the brake pedal until Park Assist has finished steering or until the display in the
instrument cluster display will go out.
Repeat reversing and driving forwards until a corresponding message is displayed on the instrument
cluster. A signal tone may also sound.
Take over steering with the steering angle set by Park Assist.
Drive the vehicle out of the parking space when permitted by the traffic situation.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The system is not responding as expected
The sensors are dirty Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior
impaired by dirt and snow or also residue from cleaning agents or coatings.
The system requirements must be met Prerequisites
The sensors are covered by water.
The vehicle is damaged in the area of the sensors, e.g. caused by parking collisions.
The detection ranges of the sensors are blocked by add-on parts, e.g. bicycle carriers.
Changes have been made to the paintwork in the area of the sensors or structural modifications
have been made, e.g. on the vehicle front end or the running gear.
The ultrasound signal is subject to interference from external noise sources, e.g. rough tarmac
surface or cobblestones.
No sensor visibility, error message, system switches itself off
Park Assist is switched off if a sensor fails.
Clean the sensors or remove stickers or accessories from the sensors and cameras Caring for and
cleaning the vehicle exterior
Check whether any damage is visible.
Possible solution
Switch off the system temporarily.
Check whether any of the causes described apply.
You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.
If the system still fails to respond as expected, have the system checked by a qualified workshop.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels parking or driving out of a parking space in the following situations:
The button is pressed.
The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
The driver door is opened.
The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
There is a system fault.
TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
