Using Park Assist Pilot*
The function measures the space and steers the vehicle. The driver's role is to:
- keep close watch of the area around the vehicle
- follow the instructions on the center display
- change gears (reverse/forward) – an audible signal indicates when the driver needs to change gears
- regulating and maintaining a safe speed
- applying the brakes and stopping the vehicle.
Information about the actions required by the driver are provided in the center display using symbols, graphics and/or text.
- No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
- Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).
Note
Parking with Park Assist Pilot
- The system searches for and measures potential parking spaces.
- The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
- The vehicle is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift gears and apply the brakes).
Searching and measuring potential parking spots
The function can be activated in the center display's Function view.
It can also be accessed from the camera views.
- GREEN button indicator light – the function is activated.
- GRAY button indicator light – the function is deactivated.
The vehicle's speed may not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) when parallel parking or 20 km/h (12 mph) when perpendicular parking.
Note
The function searches for space for parking, shows instructions and guides the vehicle on its passenger side. But, if so desired the vehicle can be parked on the driver's side of the street:
- Activate the turn signals on the driver's side – the system will then search for space to park on that side of the vehicle instead.
Backing into a parking space
Note
- Keep your hands away from the steering wheel when the function is activated.
- Make sure that the steering wheel is not hindered in any way and can rotate freely.
- To achieve the best results – wait until the steering wheel is finished turning before beginning to drive forward/in reverse.
Positioning the vehicle in the parking space
The function will switch off automatically and a graphic and message will appear to indicate that parking has been completed. Adjustments can always be made be the driver afterward. Only the driver can determine when the vehicle is correctly parked.
