Parking with Park Assist Pilot*

Park Assist Pilot (PAP1) helps the driver park using three different steps. The function can also help the driver pull out of a parking space.

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) – a chiming sound 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.

The function can be activated if the following criteria have been met after the engine is started:
  • No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
  • Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

 Note

The distance between the vehicle and parking spots should be 0.5–1.5 meters (1.6–5.0 ft) when the function is looking for parking.

Parking

The function helps park the vehicle using the following steps:
  1. The system searches for and measures potential parking spaces.
  2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
  3. The vehicle is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift gears and apply the brakes).

Searching for 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.

Vehicle speed may not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) when parking.

Tap Park In in Function view or in Camera view.
PAP will search for a potential parking space and measure it to determine if it is big enough.
Be prepared to stop the vehicle when a graphic and message in the center display indicate that a suitable parking space has been found.
A pop-up window will appear.
Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular parking and engage reverse gear.

 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

To back into a parking space:
Make sure the path behind your vehicle is clear and engage reverse gear.
Back up slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel and do not exceed a speed of 7 km/h (4 mph).
Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed to do so by a graphic and message in the center display.

 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

To do so:
Move the gear selector to the gear instructed by the system. Wait until the steering wheel turns and then drive slowly forward.
Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed to do so by a graphic and message in the center display.
Engage reverse gear and back up slowly.
Be prepared to apply the brakes when instructed to do so by a graphic and message in the center display.

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.

 Important

The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by Park Assist Pilot (PAP2) compared to when they are used by the Parking Assist system.
