suitable parking spaces are displa yed in the mul‐
timedia sy stem. The ësymbol appears in the

direction can be selected as desired. Parking
Pilot calculates a suitable vehicle path and
assists you in parking and exiting the parking
space.
Pa rking Pilot changes gear, accelerates, brakes

not taken into account when the parking
manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads,
ov erhangs or loading ramp s of lor ries or the
boundaries of a parking space. In some circum‐
st ances, Parking Pilot may therefore guide you
into the parking space prematurely. &
