WARNING
PARKTRONIC and Active Parking Assist are
merely parking aids and may not detect all

responsibility of paying attention.
You are always responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your
immediate surroundings when parking and
maneuvering. You could otherwise endanger
yourself and others.

WARNING
When parking, you need to make sure that no
obstacles are located in the vicinity of the
vehicle during the entire operation. Active
Parking Assist does not relieve you of the
responsibility of paying attention. It merely
aids you by intervening actively in the
steering.
To stop the vehicle or to avoid an accident,
you need to apply the brakes yourself.
– Let go of the multifunction steering wheel.
– Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake
at all times. Do not exceed a speed of
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) while
backing up; Active Parking Assist will
otherwise be canceled.
In tight parking spaces, you will achieve the best parking results by backing up as far as possible. When doing so, also observe the PARKTRONIC messages.
– Stop as soon as PARKTRONIC sounds the
continuous warning tone, if not before.
Maneuvering may be required in tight
parking spaces.
The Park Assist Active Select D Observe Surroundings message appears in the multifunction display.
– Shift the transmission to position D while
the vehicle is stationary.
Active Parking Assist immediately steers in
the other direction.
The Park Assist Active Accelerate
and Brake Observe Surroundings
message appears in the multifunction
display.
You will achieve the best parking results by waiting for the steering procedure to complete before moving forwards.
– Drive forwards and be ready to brake at all
times.
– Stop as soon as PARKTRONIC sounds the
continuous warning tone, if not before.
The Park Assist Active Select R Observe Surroundings message appears in the multifunction display.
– Further transmission shifts may be necessary.
As soon as the parking procedure is complete, the Park Assist Finished message appears in the multifunction display. PARKTRONIC continues to be available.

displayed by PARKTRONIC.
