Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
forward and reverse gear engagement.

a parking space, the system provides visual

to make the manoeuvres safe. Several forward

The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a parallel parking space.
B. Exit from a parallel parking space.
C. Entry into a bay parking space.

At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
