cle from the side.
= Objects placed next to the vehicle
Obstacles on the sides are not shown in the fol-
lowing situations, for example: = You park the vehicle and switch it oM.
= You open the doors.
Aser the engine is restarted, obstacles must be
detected again by driving past them before a new
warning can be issued.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera (  page 287)
= 360° camera ( page 289)
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and
cameras; the system otherwise cannot function

Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings. The
responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking
remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-
mals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring
range.
If Active Parking Assist is available, the Ç mes-
sage appears in the driver's display. When the system detects parking spaces,
È appear s.
The arrows show on which side of the road free
parking spaces are located. These are then shown
in the central display.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the calcu-
lated path of your vehicle. When you are entering
or exiting a parking space, the procedure is assis-
ted by acceleration, braking, steering and gear
changes.
To start the parking procedure, press the E
button ( page 301).
Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol-
lowing situations:
= You deactivate Parking Assist PARKTRONIC.
= You press the E button again.

= You open the driver's door. System limits
In dr
ive mode F or when the exterior lighting
is disturbed, Active Parking Assist is not available.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera (  page 287)
= 360° Camera (  page 289)
Objects that are above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist, e.g. protruding
loads, overhangs or loading ramps of trucks or
boundaries of parking spaces, are not detected
when measuring the parking space. These are
also then not taken into account when calculating
the parking procedure. In some circumstances,
Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into
the parking space prematurely or brake too late.
Certain environmental conditions, suchas snowfall
or heavy rain, may lead to a parking space being
measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are
partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be
identiNed as such or be measured incorrectly.
Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip
ground. 300
