The parking view often appears automatically, such as when you are reversing, but sometimes you need to open it manually. Find the Camera app in the contextual bar or the app library .

Important

Before using Park Pilot Assist

Take the time to read everything about Park Pilot Assist in this manual before using it for the first time. Understanding its capabilities and limitations is important for safe use.

Assess the situation

Make sure the traffic situation and conditions are suitable for activation.

Your car controls acceleration, braking and steering during parking manoeuvres. Even though Park Pilot Assist takes over the driving-related tasks of parking, you must still monitor the feature and its manoeuvres. This means that as long as you agree with what Park Pilot Assist is doing, you don't need to do anything to speed up, slow down or steer your car. However, you should always be ready to retake control of parking if you feel you need to.

Selecting an available parking space

In the parking view, press the Park Pilot Assist button.

The car begins scanning for available parking spaces.

Drive slowly in gear D to continuously scan for available spaces. Use the indicators to choose which side you want to park on.

When the car identifies an available parking space, it's highlighted in the centre display. You need to pass a spot before it appears as available in the centre display.

Stop the car and select the suggested parking space via the centre display to park there.

Starting the parking manoeuvre

Start the parking manoeuvre by slightly pressing down on the accelerator.

Note

Your car won't begin any automatic manoeuvres until you have selected a parking space via the centre display.

Let go of the steering wheel and follow any further instructions in the centre display.

Warning

Pay attention to your surroundings and take control of the car if necessary.

Continuing the parking manoeuvre

Press down on the accelerator pedal slightly1, but not quite halfway, continuously during the full manoeuvre. This confirms to your car that you want the parking to continue.

Tip

Using the accelerator pedal

Finding the right amount of pressure to put on the accelerator can be tricky the first few times. When Park Pilot Assist starts, don't change your pressure on the accelerator too much unless you want to pause the ongoing parking manoeuvre. It might be tempting to try to speed up the manoeuvre by pressing more on the accelerator, but this will pause the parking. Letting up too much on the accelerator pedal also pauses any ongoing manoeuvres.

Note

During Park Pilot Assist parking manoeuvres

You might experience Park Pilot Assist parking manoeuvres differently, depending on the situation. Sometimes, it might seem like the feature is a bit hesitant or that the car is going backwards and forwards a lot. This is just part of the parking process but it can be due to difficulties with detection, positioning or planning. In other cases, you might feel that the parking is very fast or straightforward. If your selected parking space becomes unavailable or the parking manoeuvre can't be completed, your car will notify you. If you don't see a notification, you can let the car continue parking as long it's safe to do so.

The car confirms when it has completed the manoeuvre and puts the car in park.
