Trailer towing

For vehicles with a trailer tow hitch, the minimum length for parking spaces is slightly increased.

If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle, you should not use Active Parking Assist.

Once the electrical connection is established between your vehicle and the trailer, Active Parking Assist is no longer available.

PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear area.
