EX90 Leaving a parking space using Park Pilot Assist

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. Park Pilot Assist can only assist you when you are leaving a parallel parking space.

Your car controls acceleration, braking and steering during Park Pilot Assist manoeuvres. Even though your car takes over the driving-related tasks of leaving a parking space, 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 if you feel you need to.

Selecting an available exit path

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

The car begins scanning for an exit path. Use the indicators to choose direction.

When a path is identified, it's direction is highlighted in the centre display.

Press the highlighted suggestion in the centre display to confirm the direction in which you want to exit the parking space.

Start the Park Pilot Assist manoeuvre by slightly pressing down on the accelerator.

Note

Your car won't begin any automatic manoeuvres until you have confirmed an exit direction 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.

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

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 feature. It might be tempting to try to speed things up by pressing more on the accelerator, but this will instead pause any ongoing manoeuvre. Letting up too much on the accelerator pedal will do the same thing.

Note

During Park Pilot Assist manoeuvres

You might experience Park Pilot Assist 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 process but it can be due to difficulties with detection, positioning or planning. In other cases, you might feel that the manoeuvres are very fast or straightforward. If your confirmed exit path becomes unavailable or the manoeuvres can't be completed, your car will notify you. If you don't see a notification, you can let the car continue as long it's safe to do so.

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

Note

Due to safety reasons, the Park Pilot Assist manoeuvres won't position your car completely outside the parking space every time you use it to leave a parking spot. In most cases, the manoeuvres stop when the car reaches a good point for you to take over and continue driving. You can then fully exit the parking space without using Park Assist Pilot.
