Parking and maneuvering


— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot
move freely, for example when on a vehicle
jack.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

@ Note
— Do not use the park assist systems when
transporting cargo that extends out of the
vehicle, when snow chains are mounted, or
when the parking space is on a hill or in-
cline.
— Park assist guides the vehicle either away
from curbs or onto them if other vehicles
are parked on the curb. Make sure that your
vehicle's tires and rims are not damaged.
Resume control of the vehicle in time or
stop the parking process if needed to pre-
vent damage.
— In parking spaces without curbs, maintain a
distance of at least 19 inches (50 cm) from
walls and buildings in order to reduce the
risk of vehicle damage.
@ Tips
Follow the legal regulations in the country
where you are located when using Park assist.
Parking with the park assists

play and the warning tones until the parking

has ended.
> The indicators in the center display show the
necessary direction of travel. Drive in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrows or symbols on the
roof in the parking aid image @) > page 154,
fig. 136.
Park assist automatically steers the vehicle into
the parking space while the driver presses the
pedals. The maximum parking speed is approxi-
mately 4 mph (7 km/h).

ZA WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 114.
— The park assist is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist to drive into or out
of a parking space, the steering wheel turns
quickly on its own. Reaching into the steer-
ing wheel spokes while this is happening can
result in injury.
G) Tips
You can also cancel the driving direction set
by the system by shifting between D and re-
verse gear. Based on the position of the vehi-
cle, the system then calculates the additional
steering and driving directions for maneuver-
ing.
