Function of Active Parking Assist
A

ctive Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with
the assistance of the reversing camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forwards up to
approximately 35 km/h, the system automatically
measures parking spaces on both sides of the
vehicle.
Active Parking Assist oMers the following func-
tions: Vehicles with reversing camera
=
P

arking in parking spaces parallel to the road
= Reversing into parking spaces perpendicular
to the road
Vehicles with 360° Camera
= Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
= Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to the
road (optionally either forwards or reverse)
= Parking in parking spaces that can only be
detected as such due to markings (forexample
at the roadside)
= Exiting a parking space parallel to the road
= Exiting a parking space perpendicular to the
road (optionally either les or right)
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.
If Active Parking Assist is available, the Ç mes-
sage appears in the driver's display. When the system detects parking spaces,
È appear s.
The arrows show on which side of the road free
parking spaces are located. These are then shown
in the central display.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the calcu-
lated path of your vehicle. When you are entering
or exiting a parking space, the procedure is assis-
ted by acceleration, braking, steering and gear
changes.
To start the parking procedure, press the E
button ( page 298).
Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol-
lowing situations:
= You deactivate Parking Assist PARKTRONIC.
= You press the E button again.
= You begin steering.
= You engage transmission position j.
= ESP n
intervenes.
= You open the driver's door. 296
Driving and parking

System limits
If t
he exterior lighting is malfunctioning, Active
Parking Assist is not available.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera ( page 284)
= 360° camera (  page 286)
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist, suchas overhang-
ing 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 calculating the parking procedure. In some
circumstances, Active Parking Assist may there-
fore guide you into the parking space prematurely
or brake too late.
Certain environmental conditions, suchas snowfall
or heavy 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. &
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. Active Parking Assist can also display unsuitable
par

king spaces, e.g. parking spaces in which
parking is not permitted or parking spaces on
unsuitable surfaces.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
= In extreme weather conditions suchas ice,
packed snow or in heavy rain.
= When transporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle. =
If t
he parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
= 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.
= On steep inclines of more than approximately
15 %. Driving and parking

% Remote Parking Assist is an additional func-
tion of A
ctive Parking Assist. Comply with
local traPc laws and regulations when using
Remote Parking Assist on public roads.
If it is required to turn the wheels toward the
kerb, you cannot use Remote Parking Assist. Please note that you can only use Remote
P
arking Assist if you have a valid driving
licence and are in a Nt state to drive.
Remote Parking Assist parks your vehicle or exits
t
he parking space while you are outside of your
vehicle. You can monitor the manoeuvring and
parking procedure on your mobile phone.
With Remote Parking Assist, you can carry out all
the parking procedures of Active Parking Assist.
You can also position the vehicle directly in front
of a garage or a driveway entrance and then use
Remote Parking Assist to enter or exit a parking
space.
Remote Parking Assist manages pulling away,

ing remains with you. Interrupt or terminate the
parking procedure if necessary. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range. Make sure to also pay atten-
tion to other vehicles. System limits
If t

he system detects a malfunction or a system
