&WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located above or below the detection range of Active Parking Assist
If there are objects above or below the
detection range, the following situations may arise:
= Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
= The vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects.
This could cause a collision.
In these situations, do not use Active
Parking Assist.
Extreme environmental conditions, such as
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 identified as such or be measured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking
Assist on level, high-grip ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
= In extreme weather conditions such as ice,
packed snow or in heavy rain.
= When transporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle.
= If the parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
= When snow chains are installed.
= Directly after a tire change or when spare
tires are installed.
= If the tire pressure is too low or too high.
= If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g.
after bottoming out on a curb.
= On steep inclines of more than approx. 15%.
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, such as, e.g.:
= Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
= Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.ParkingwithActiveParkingAssist%Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
button may also be located at a different
