MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE 2019 Owner's Manual

As soon as the parking procedure is complete,
the Active Parking Assist Finished
Active Parking Assist Finished mes-
sage will appear on the multifunction display
and you will hear a tone. The vehicle is now
parked. The vehicle is kept stationary without
the driver having to depress the brake pedal.
The braking effect is canceled when you depress the accelerator pedal.
Active Parking Assist no longer supports you
with steering interventions and brake applica-
tions. When Active Parking Assist is finished,
you must steer and brake again yourself. Park-
ing Assist PARKTRONIC is still available.
Parking tips:
R The way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking space, or not far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the curb. If necessary,
cancel the parking procedure with Active
Parking Assist.
R You can also preselect transmission position
005B. The vehicle redirects and does not drive
as far into the parking space. Should the
transmission change take place too early, the parking procedure will be canceled. A sensi-
ble parking position can no longer be ach-
ieved from this position.
Exiting a parking space In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when exiting the parking space:
R the border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. A curb is too small, for example.
R the border of the parking space must not be
too wide. Your vehicle can be maneuvered
into a position at a maximum of 45° to the
starting position in the parking space.
R a maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
(1.0 m) must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
i If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC detects
obstacles, Active Parking Assist brakes auto-
matically whilst the vehicle is exiting the park- ing space. You are responsible for braking in
good time.
X Start the engine.
X Release the electric parking brake.
X Switch on the turn signal in the direction you
will drive out of the parking space.
X Shift the transmission to position 005Bor005E.

General notes Rear view camera
0043is an optical parking and
maneuvering aid. It shows the area behind your
vehicle with guide lines in the multimedia sys-
tem.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.
i The text shown in the multimedia system
display depends on the language setting. The
following are examples of rear view camera
displays in the multimedia system.
Important safety notes The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects in
the maneuvering area while maneuvering and
parking in parking spaces.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
a limited manner:
R if the trunk lid is open
R if there is heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R if the surroundings are lit by fluorescent light
or LED lighting
The display may flicker
R if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in win-
ter 180
Driving systemsDriving an

R
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 305)
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, bicycle rack).
On vehicles with height-adjustable chassis,
leaving the standard height can result in inac-
curacies in the guide lines, depending on tech-
nical conditions.
i The contrast of the display may be affected
by the sudden presence of sunlight or other
light sources, e.g. when exiting a garage. Pay
particular attention in this situation.
i If usability is severely restricted, e.g. due to
pixel errors, have the display repaired or
replaced.
i The rear view camera is protected from rain-
drops and dust. When the rear view camera is
switched on, the Mercedes emblem opens
with the rear view camera in the cover on the tailgate.
The emblem closes again when:
R you have finished the maneuvering process
R you switch off the engine
R you open the trunk
