Driving and parking<br />
G Warning!<br />
The system cannot detect objects located<br />
above the area that the sensors scan. These<br />
objects, e.g. protruding load, overhang, or<br />
truck tail lifts, will be ignored when computing<br />
the parking procedure. The Parking Guidance<br />
might therefore provide untimely steering<br />
instructions. This could cause a collision.<br />
Thus, do not use the Parking Guidance in such<br />
situations.<br />
G Warning!<br />
Make sure no persons or animals are in the<br />
area in which you are maneuvering. You could<br />
otherwise injure them.<br />
! Pay particular attention to low objects or<br />
objects with flat surfaces, such as trailer<br />
drawbars, posts, cross beams and curbs.<br />
These types of objects cannot be detected<br />
by Parking Guidance and may damage the<br />
vehicle.<br />
When PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking<br />
Guidance is also unavailable.<br />
Use Parking Guidance for parking spaces:<br />
Rthat are parallel to the direction of travel<br />
Rthat are on straight roads, not bends<br />
Rthat are on the same level as the road, i.e.<br />
not on the pavement, for example. Parking<br />
Guidance may not detect flat curbs<br />
Parking tips:<br />
ROn narrow roads, drive as close to the<br />
parking space as possible.<br />
RParking spaces that are littered, overgrown<br />
or partially occupied by trailer drawbars<br />
might be identified incorrectly or not at all.<br />
RSnowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking<br />
space being measured inaccurately.<br />
RPay attention to the PARKTRONIC warning<br />
messages during the parking procedure<br />
(Y page 195).<br />
RWhen transporting a load which protrudes<br />
from your vehicle, you must not use Parking<br />
Guidance.<br />
RNever use Parking Guidance with snow<br />
chains or an emergency spare wheel<br />
installed.<br />
RMake sure that the tire pressures are<br />
always correct. This has a direct effect on<br />
the steering instructions.<br />
RThe way your vehicle is positioned in the<br />
parking space after parking is dependent<br />
on various factors. These include the<br />
position and shape of the vehicles parked<br />
in front and behind it and the conditions of<br />
the location. In some cases, Parking<br />
Guidance may guide you too far or not far<br />
enough into a parking space. In some<br />
cases, it may also lead you across or onto<br />
the curb. If necessary, cancel the parking<br />
procedure with Parking Guidance.<br />
! If unavoidable, you should drive over<br />
obstacles such as curbs slowly and not at<br />
a sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage<br />
the wheels or tires.<br />
Detecting a parking space<br />
Example<br />
: Detected parking space on the left<br />
; Parking symbol<br />
= Detected parking space on the right<br />
Parking Guidance is automatically activated<br />
when you drive forwards. The system is<br />
operational at speeds of up to approximately<br />
22 mph (35 km/h). While in operation, the<br />
system independently locates and measures<br />
parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.<br />
When driving at speeds below 19 mph<br />
(30 km/h), you will see parking symbol ; as<br />
a status indicator in the instrument cluster.<br />
When a parking space has been detected, an<br />
arrow towards the right = or the left : also
