The parking manoeuver while parking is per-
formed automatically.
If the reduction in drive power is canceled by
covering a certain distance, the drive power is
released gradually.
When driving out of parallel parking spaces,
the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it
reaches a position where it can be driven out
of the parking space without further steering
movements.
Display
As soon as the system engages, an
icon is displayed with a corresponding
message.
When driving out of perpendicular parking
spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the
parking space to enable continued driving in
the desired direction.
