G

Warning!

The system cannot detect objects located

above the area that the sensors scan. These

objects, e.g. protruding load, overhang, or

truck tail lifts, will be ignored when computing

the parking procedure. The Parking Guidance

might therefore provide untimely steering

instructions. This could cause a collision.

Thus, do not use the Parking Guidance in such

situations.

G

Warning!

Make sure no persons or animals are in the

area in which you are maneuvering. You could

otherwise injure them.

!

Pay particular attention to low objects or

objects with flat surfaces, such as trailer

drawbars, posts, cross beams and curbs.

These types of objects cannot be detected

by Parking Guidance and may damage the

vehicle.

When PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking

Guidance is also unavailable.

Use Parking Guidance for parking spaces:

R

that are parallel to the direction of travel

R

that are on straight roads, not bends

R

that are on the same level as the road, i.e.

not on the pavement, for example. Parking

Guidance may not detect flat curbs

Parking tips:

R

On narrow roads, drive as close to the

parking space as possible.

R

Parking spaces that are littered, overgrown

or partially occupied by trailer drawbars

might be identified incorrectly or not at all.

R

Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking

space being measured inaccurately.

R

Pay attention to the PARKTRONIC warning

messages during the parking procedure

(Y page 341).

R

When transporting a load which protrudes

from your vehicle, you must not use Parking

Guidance.

R

Never use Parking Guidance with snow

chains or an emergency spare wheel

installed.

R

Make sure that the tire pressures are

always correct. This has a direct effect on

the steering instructions.

R

The way your vehicle is positioned in the

parking space after parking is dependent

on various factors. These include the

position and shape of the vehicles parked

in front and behind it and the conditions of

the location. In some cases, Parking

Guidance may guide you too far or not far

enough into a parking space. In some

cases, it may also lead you across or onto

the curb. If necessary, cancel the parking

procedure with Parking Guidance.

!

If unavoidable, you should drive over

obstacles such as curbs slowly and not at

a sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage

the wheels or tires.

Parking Guidance is automatically activated

when you drive forwards. The system is

operational at speeds of up to approximately

22 mph (35 km/h). While in operation, the

system independently locates and measures

parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.

At speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h), you see

white parking symbol ; in the instrument

cluster as a status indicator. Parking

Guidance only shows parking spaces on the

passenger side in the default setting. Parking

spaces on the driver's side are displayed as
