away. Do not continue driving farther.

Z\ WARNING
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings > A\ in General information on

displayed is suitable for the vehicle.
— The vehicle will change position when park-
ing. Make sure you do not endanger any oth-
er drivers.
— When using park assist to drive into or out
of a parking space, the steering wheel turns
quickly on its own. Reaching into the steer-
ing wheel spokes while this is happening can
result in injury.

@) Note
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings >@ in General information on
page 136.
— Park assist guides the vehicle either away
from curbs or onto them if other vehicles
are parked on the curb. Make sure that your
vehicle's tires and rims are not damaged.
Take over steering at the right time.
— Certain conditions around the parking space
may result in the vehicle not being parked
as expected.
— Objects such as pillars or posts.
— Ground covering such as gravel, snow or
Ices

Applies to: vehicles with park assist

Fig. 142 Infotainment: notification to continue driving in
reverse (example: when parallel parking)
Searching for parking spaces
> Drive forward to the row of parking spaces ata
low speed. For the best parking results, the ve-
hicle should be approximately 3 feet (1 m) from
the row of parking spaces.
> The parking space search is first done on one
side of the lane. To switch the side for the park-
ing space search, activate the turn signal for
that side.
Selecting the parking space
> If the system finds a parking space that could
be suitable for the vehicle length and width, it
will be displayed > fig. 141. The system auto-
matically suggests a parking option.
> Make sure that the parking space is suitable for
your vehicle.
> To switch between parallel (@), forward perpen-
dicular @) or reverse perpendicular © parking,
turn the control knob to the desired mode. Only
the parking options that are currently possible
are suggested.
> Drive forward until the instructions for auto-
matic parking appear in the instrument cluster
> /\ in Description on page 141, >©@ in De-
scription on page 141. As soon as the vehicle
142
has reached the correct position, a P appears in
the display over the selected parking space.
> Keep the vehicle as parallel as possible to the
parked vehicles or to the side of the road.
> If you would like to park using the system, fol-
low the instructions in the instrument cluster.
Park assist only displays parking spaces that are
suitable for the length and width of the vehicle.
@) Note
— Parking spaces classified as suitable by the
system may have been detected incorrectly.
The driver must decide if the parking space
displayed is suitable for the vehicle.
— Certain conditions near the parking space
may cause the parking process to fail, such
as if the parking space is near trees or posts,
or if the ground is covered, for example,
with gravel, snow, or ice.
G) Tips
— You can select a space from all of the park-
ing options found. The possible parking
space will be displayed until you are too far
away from it.

space too quickly, the system can also be ac-
tivated afterwards by pressing the Pe button
and activating the turn signal.
— If suitable parking spaces are available on
both sides of the road at the same time
(such as on a one-way street), the direction
of the turn signal can also be changed in or-
der to use park assist.

ceeds approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
