Objects located abo veor below the de tection
ra nge of Parking Pilot are not de tected when the
parking space is being measured. These are also
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 the parking space. In some cir‐
cums tances, Parking Pilot may therefore guide
yo u into the parking space prematurely. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Parking Pilot
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
R Parking Pilot may steer too ear ly.
R Vehicles with automatic transmis‐
sion: Thevehicle may not stop in front of
th ese objects.
This could cause a collision. #
Inthese situations, do not use Parking
Pilot. Sn
owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccuratel y.Pa rking
spaces that are partial lyoccupied bytrailer
dr aw bars might not be identified as such or be
measured incor rectly. Only use Parking Pilot on
le ve l, high-grip ground. Do not use
Parking Pilot, forex ample, in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R Inextreme weather conditions such as ice or
pac ked snow or in heavy rain.
R Ifyo u are transpo rting a load that pr otru des
be yond theve hicle.
R Ifth e parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
R Ifyo u ha veins talled snow chains.
Pa rking Pilot may also display parking spaces
th at are not suitable for parking, e.g.:
R Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
R Parking spaces on unsuitable sur faces.
Pa rking Pilot will not assist you with parking
spaces at right angles tothe direction of tr avel
in thefo llowing situations:
R If two parking spaces are located immedi‐
ately next toeach other.
R Ifth e parking space is directly next toa low

Pa rking Pilot on public roads.
Re mo teParking Pilot supports the parking
manoeuvre while you are outside your vehicle.
Once you ha veselected a suitable parking
space, youth en exitth eve hicle and guide it into
th e parking space using a suitable mobile phone.
Re mo teParking Pilot accelerates, brakes, steers
th eve hicle and changes gear. You can cancel the
parking manoeuvre at any time using your
mobile phone.
Yo u can also use your mobile phone tomo ve
yo ur vehicle backwards and forw ards in the

If th e connection between theve hicle and the
mobile phone is inter rupte d while a parking
manoeuvre is being per form ed, the manoeuvre
can be continued if the connection is re-es tab‐
lished within about two minutes.
The following scenarios are suppor ted:
R Parking in a parking space parallel tothe
direction of tra vel.
R Parking in a parking space at right angles to
th e direction of tra vel. R
Exiting a parking space at right angles tothe
direction of tra vel (exploration mode).
R Parking in a garage (exploration mode).
R Exiting a garage (exploration mode).
If te ch nical problems arise du ring a pa rking
manoeuvre (e.g. the permitted downhill gradient
is exc eeded), thefo llowing actions are per‐
fo rm ed automatically:
R The parking manoeuvre is cancelled.
R The vehicle is brought toast andstill.
R Transmission position jis engaged.
R The vehicle is switched off.
If th e parking manoeuvre is cancelled, a cor re‐
sponding message is displa yed on the mobile
phone. You can then take ove r and manoeuvre
th eve hicle into the parking space yourself. Alter‐
nativel y,yo u can mo vetheve hicle back toits
original position, if necessar y.
Whilst theve hicle is being par ked with Parking
