Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) helps the driver drive into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces and leave parallel parking spaces.

Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when parking by measuring the parking space and turning the steering wheel to guide the vehicle into the space.

Information about the actions required by the driver is provided in the center display in the form of symbols, images and text.

 Note

While PAP is active, the driver's task is to:
  • carefully monitor the area around the vehicle
  • follow the instructions provided in the center display
  • select a gear (D or R) when prompted
  • regulate the vehicle's speed
  • apply the brakes when necessary and stop the vehicle

Types of parking

Parallel parking

P5-1507-Parallel parking PAP
Procedure for parallel parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
  1. The system searches for and measures a possible parking space. While this is being done, the vehicle's speed may not exceed approx. 20 mph ( 30 km/h). When backing into a space, the speed may not exceed approx. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
  2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space. The driver controls the vehicle's speed.
  3. The vehicle's position in the parking space is adjusted by prompting the driver to move forward and rearward while the system steers.

Perpendicular parking

P5-1507-Perpendicular parking PAP
Procedure for perpendicular parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
  1. The system searches for and measures a possible parking space. While this is being done, the vehicle's speed may not exceed approx. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
  2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space and its position in the space is adjusted by prompting the driver to select D or R while the system steers. The driver has to control the vehicle's speed.

 Note

PAP's Park out function cannot be used to help a vehicle leave a parking space if the Perpendicular parking function was used to park the vehicle.

 Warning

  • PAP does not function in all situations and is only intended to assist the driver during parallel or perpendicular parking.
  • As the driver, you have full responsibility for parking the vehicle in a safe manner.
