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 319).
Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol-
lowing situations:

If t
he exterior lighting is malfunctioning, Active
Parking Assist is not available.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems: = Reversing camera (  page 306)
= 360° camera ( page 308)
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist, suchas overhang-
ing loads, overhangs or loading ramps of goods
vehicles or the borders of parking spaces, are not
detected during measurement of the parking
space. These are also then not taken into account
when calculating the parking procedure. In some
circumstances, Active Parking Assist may there-
fore 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. 318
