detected as such due to markings (forexample
at the roadside)
= Exiting parking spaces if you have parked
using Active Parking Assist
As soon as all requirements are met for searching
for parking spaces, the Ç display appears in
the Instrument Display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears in the Instru-
ment Display. The arrows show on which side of
the road detected parking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media display.
Vehicles with reversing camera: the parking space
can be selected as desired. The vehicle is parked
in reverse.
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the parking space
can be selected as desired. Depending on the
location of the parking space, the parking direc-
tion (rearwards or forwards) can also be selected
as desired. When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicat ors are activated based on the calcu-
lated path of your vehicle.
The parking procedure is assisted by accelerating,
braking, steering and gear changes.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings. The
responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking
remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-
mals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring
range.
Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol-
lowing situations:
= Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated.
= You begin steering.
= You engage transmission position j.
= ESP n

If t
he exterior lighting is faulty, the active parking
assistant may be out of function, depending on
the defect.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera (  page 221)
= 360° Camera ( page 223)
Objects located above or below the detection
range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads,
overhangs or loading ramps of goods vehicles, or
the borders of parking spaces, are not detected
during measurement of the parking space. These
are also then not taken into account when calcu-
lating the parking procedure. In some circumstan-
ces, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide
you into the parking space incorrectly. 232

WARNING Risk of accident due t o objects
located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist
If there are objects above or below the detec-
tion r
ange, the following situations may arise:
= Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
= The vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects.
There is a danger of collision! 
In these situations, do not use Active
P
arking Assist. Extreme weather conditions, suchas snow or
hea
vy rain, may lead to a parking space being
measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are
partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be
identiNed as such or be measured incorrectly.
Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip
ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
= In extreme weather conditions suchas ice,
packed snow or in heavy rain. =
When tr
ansporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle.
= On steep uphill or downhill gradients of more
than approximately 15 %.
= When snow chains are Ntted.
= When a trailer or bicycle rack is attached.
= Directly aser a tyre change or when spare
tyres are Ntted.
= If the tyre pressure is too low or too high.
= If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g. aser
bottoming out on a kerb.
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, suchas: = Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
= Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.
