Parking with Park Assist Pilot

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.

• Illuminated button – the function is activated.
• Extinguished button – 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.

Tap Park In in Function view or in Camera view.

The function 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

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

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 (PAP1) compared to when they are used by the Parking Assist system.

Auto-brake during a parking sequence

If, while parking, the parking sensors detect a vehicle or pedestrian in the vehicle's intended direction of travel behind or in front of the vehicle, the auto-brake function will bring the vehicle to a standstill.

A pop-up message will then appear in the instrument panel and the driver can tap Cancel to cancel the parking sequence or Resume to continue the parking sequence.
