- Fig. 1 Instrument cluster: Prompt to keep driving forwards (a parking space has been detected)
Applies to vehicles: with park assist
The section below describes how to park parallel to the roadside. The procedure for parking perpendicular to the roadside is similar.
Important: You need to be between 0.5 and 2 metres away from the line of parked cars.
Operate the turn signal. The desired side of the road will be scanned.
To park parallel to the roadside, drive forwards at not more than 40 km/h. Or:
To park perpendicular to the roadside, drive forwards at not more than 20 km/h.
The system will display a parking space when it finds one Fig. 1. Please check that the parking space is suitable for your vehicle.
If you exceed a speed of about 50 km/h, the park assist will be switched off.
The park assist will display a parking space only if it is long and wide enough for the vehicle.
Note
- The arrows
or 
in the instrument cluster display indicate the side of the road on which the park assist intends to park the vehicle. - You can activate the park assist after you have already driven past a parking space (as long as you were driving slowly enough). To do so, press the
button and operate the turn signal. - The system displays the right or left side of the road, depending on which turn signals you operate.
- The best parking results will be achieved if you position the vehicle as parallel as possible to the line of parked cars or the kerb before you start the actual parking manoeuvre.
