The function first checks if a space is large

enough and if so then assists the driver to

steer the car into the space.

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

The centre display indicates with symbols,

graphics and text the various operations to be

carried out and when to do so.

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

Using Park Assist Pilot*

Park Assist Pilot (PAP¹²⁵) helps the driver

park via three steps. The function can also

help the driver to leave a parking space.

This function measures space and steers the

car – the driver's job is to:

The distance between the car and parking

spaces should be 0.5–1.5 metres

(1.6–5.0 ft) while the function is searching

for a parking space.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot

The function parks the car using the following

steps:

follow the instructions in the centre dis-

play

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

select a gear (reverse/forward) – an

acoustic signal indicates when the driver

should change gear

2. The car is reversed into the space.

3. The car is positioned into the space - the

system may then request that the driver

changes gear and brakes.

•

Symbols, graphic and/or text appear on the

centre display when the different steps are to

be performed.

Find and measure parking spaces

The function can be activated

in the centre display's func-

tion view.

The function can be activated if the following

criteria are met once the engine has been

started:

It can also be accessed from

the camera views.

No trailer is attached to the car

•

GREEN button indication – the function is

activated.

2. Reverse slowly and carefully without

touching the steering wheel - and no

faster than 7 km/h (4 mph).

Reversing in to the parking space

view or in the camera view.

> The function searches for a parking

space and checks whether it is big

enough.

3. Be prepared to stop the car when instruc-

ted by the graphic and message on the

centre display.

2. Be prepared to stop the car when the

graphic and message on the centre dis-

play state that a suitable parking space

has been found.

Keep your hands away from the steer-

ing wheel when the function is acti-

vated.

> A pop-up window is shown.

3.

Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular

parking and select reverse gear.

Make sure that the steering wheel is

not hindered in any way and can rotate

freely.

Principle for reversing into parallel parking.

To achieve optimum results - wait until

the steering wheel is fully turned

before starting to drive backward/

forward.

The function searches the area for parking,

displays instructions and guides the car in

on its passenger side. But if required the

car can also be parked on the driver's side

of the street:

Activate the direction indicator to the

driver's side - then the system

searches for a parking space on that

side of the car instead.

Principle for reversing into perpendicular parking.

1. Check that the area behind the car is clear,

then engage reverse gear.

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot*

The Park Assist Pilot (PAP¹²⁷) function cannot

detect everything in all situations and may

therefore have limited functionality.

Assist Pilot*

The Park Out function can help the driver to

leave a parking space when the car is parallel

parked.

A driver should be aware about the following

examples of Park Assist Pilot limitations.

Note the steering wheel can "spring" back

when the function is completed - the driver

may then need to turn the steering wheel back

to the maximum steering angle in order to

leave the parking space.

When leaving a parking space, the Park

Out function must only be used for a paral-

lel-parked car - it does not work for a per-

pendicular-parked car.

WARNING

The parking sensors have blind spots

where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

If the function considers that the driver can

leave the parking space without any extra

manoeuvring then the function will be stop-

ped, even if the driver may consider that the

car is still in the parking space.

Pay particular attention if there are

people and animals near the car.

The Park Out function is acti-

vated in the centre display's

function view or in the cam-

era view.

Bear in mind that the front of the car

may swing out towards oncoming traf-

fic during the parking manoeuvre.

1.

Objects situated higher than the sensor

detection area are not included when cal-

culating the parking manoeuvre, which

could cause the function to swing into the

parking space too early – such parking

spaces should be avoided for this reason.

GREY button indication – the function is

deactivated.

Tap on the Park Out button in the func-

tion view or in the camera view.

2. Use the direction indicator to select the

direction in which the car should leave the

parking space.

There are also a few details to bear in mind

while parking, e.g.:

Parking is discontinued

A parking sequence will be discontinued:

IMPORTANT

Under certain circumstances, the function

is unable to find parking spaces - one rea-

son for this may be the fact that there is

interference with the sensors from external

sound sources which emit the same ultra-

sound frequencies as those with which the

system works.

The driver is always responsible for deter-

mining whether the space selected by the

function is suitable for parking.

•

if the driver moves the steering wheel

•

if the car is driven too quickly - above

7 km/h (4 mph)

Do not use the function if snow chains or

a spare wheel are fitted.

•

if the driver presses Cancel in the centre

display

•

Do not use the function if cargo items are

protruding from the car.

when the anti-lock brakes or the Elec-

tronic stability control are engaged - e.g.

when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road

Examples of such sources include horns,

wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes

and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

Heavy rain or snow may cause the system

to measure the parking space incorrectly.

as the steering servo for speed-dependent

steering wheel resistance is working at

reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to

overheating

•

During the search and check-measure-

ment of the parking space, the function

may miss objects positioned deep in the

parking space.

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors

will reduce their function and may prevent

measurement.

when the parking sensors detect a vehicle

or pedestrian within the intended route in

front of or behind the car during a parking

manoeuvre, the car is auto-braked to sta-

tionary.

Parking spaces on narrow streets are not

always feasible, since the space required

for manoeuvring may not be sufficient.

•

Driver responsibility

Use approved tyres¹²⁸with the correct

tyre pressure - this affects the ability of

the function to park the car.

•

The driver should bear in mind that the func-

tion is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic

function. The driver must therefore be pre-

pared to interrupt a parking step.

Where applicable, a message in the centre

display states the reason for a parking

sequence being discontinued.

The function bases itself on the locations

of vehicles already parked nearby – if they

are inappropriately parked, your own car's

tyres and wheel rims may be damaged by

contact with the kerb.

Perpendicular parking spaces may be

missed or offered unnecessarily if one

The function is designed for parking on

straight streets – not sharp curves or

bends. For this reason, make sure the car

is parallel to the potential parking spaces

when the function measures the space.
