Ac tive Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with
th e assistance of there ve rsing camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forw ards up to
appr oximately 35 km/h, the system automatically
measures parking spaces on bo thsides of the
ve hicle.

tions:
R Country

th e Instrument Displa y.
When Active Parking Assist has de tected parking
spaces, theÈ display appears in the Instru-
ment Displa y.The ar rows show on which side of
