nction of Active Parking Assist
Ac tive Parking Assist is an elect ronic pa rking
assis tance sy stem, which uses ultrasound with
th e assis tance of there ve rsing camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forw ards up to
appr oximately 35 km/h, the sy stem automati‐
cally measures parking spaces on bo thsides of
th eve hicle.
As soon as all requ irements are met for sear ch‐
ing for parking spaces, theÇ display appears
in the multifunction displa y.
When Active Parking Assist has de tected pa rking
spaces, theÈ display appears in the multi‐
function displa y.The ar rowsshow on which side of
thero ad de tected pa rking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media displa y.
The parking space can be selected as desired.
Depending on the location of the parking space,
th e parking direction (rear wards or forw ards)
can also be selec ted as desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the cal‐
culated path of your vehicle.
When you are en tering or exiting a parking
space, the procedure is assis tedby acceleration,
braking, steering and gear changes.
Ac tive Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur roundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
Ac tive Parking Assist will be cancelled in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
