Parking variants with Park Assist

Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

124

) can be used for

both parallel and perpendicular parking.

Parallel parking

The principal of parallel parking.

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned in the space by

means of driving forward/backward.

With the

Park Out

function, a parallel-parked

car can also get help from the function with
leaving the parking space.

Perpendicular parking

Principle for perpendicular parking.

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space and

then positioned in the space by means of
driving forward/backward.

When leaving a parking space, the

Park

Out

function must only be used for a paral-

lel-parked car - it does not work for a per-
pendicular-parked car.

Using Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

125

) helps the driver

park via three steps. The function can also
help the driver to leave a parking space.

This function measures space and steers the
car – the driver's job is to:

•

keep an eye on what is happening around
the car

•

follow the instructions in the centre dis-
play

•

select a gear (reverse/forward) – an
acoustic signal indicates when the driver
should change gear

•

regulate and maintain a safe speed

•

brake and stop.

Symbols, graphic and/or text appear on the
centre display when the different steps are to
be performed.

The function can be activated if the following
criteria are met once the engine has been
started:

•

No trailer is attached to the car

•

Speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

The distance between the car and parking
spaces should be 0.5–1.5 metres
(1.6–5.0 ft) while the function is searching
for a parking space.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned into the space - the

system may then request that the driver
changes gear and brakes.

Find and measure parking spaces

The function can be activated
in the centre display's func-
tion view.

It can also be accessed from
the camera views.

•

GREEN button indication – the function is
activated.

•

GREY button indication – the function is
deactivated.

Principle for searching before parallel parking.

Principle for searching before perpendicular parking.

Drive at a maximum of 30 km/h (20 mph)
before parking.

1. Tap on the

Park In

button in the function

view or in the camera view.
> The function searches for a parking

space and checks whether it is big
enough.

2. Be prepared to stop the car when the

graphic and message on the centre dis-
play state that a suitable parking space
has been found.
> A pop-up window is shown.

3. Select

Parallel parking

Perpendicular

parking

and select reverse gear.

The function searches the area for parking,
displays instructions and guides the car in
on its passenger side. But if required the
car can also be parked on the driver's side
of the street:

•

Activate the direction indicator to the
driver's side - then the system
searches for a parking space on that
side of the car instead.

Reversing in to the parking space

Principle for reversing into parallel parking.

Principle for reversing into perpendicular parking.

1. Check that the area behind the car is clear,

then engage reverse gear.

2. Reverse slowly and carefully without

touching the steering wheel - and no
faster than 7 km/h (4 mph).

3. Be prepared to stop the car when instruc-

ted by the graphic and message on the
centre display.

•

Keep your hands away from the steer-
ing wheel when the function is acti-
vated.

•

Make sure that the steering wheel is
not hindered in any way and can rotate
freely.

•

To achieve optimum results - wait until
the steering wheel is fully turned
before starting to drive backward/
forward.

Positioning the car in the parking space

Principle for positioning during parallel parking.

Principle for positioning during perpendicular park-

ing.

1. Move the gear selector to the gear posi-

tion as instructed by the system, wait until
the steering wheel has been turned and
drive forward slowly.

2. Be prepared to stop the car when instruc-

ted by the graphic and message on the
centre display.

3. Select reverse gear and drive slowly back-

wards.

4. Be prepared to brake the car when

instructed by the graphic and message on
the centre display.

The function is deactivated automatically and
the graphics and message show that parking
is complete. It may be necessary for the driver
to correct the car’s position. Only the driver
can determine whether the car is properly
parked.

IMPORTANT

The warning distance is shorter when the
sensors are used by Park Assist Pilot
(PAP

126

) compared with when Park Assist

System uses the sensors.

Auto-brake during parking sequence

If the parking sensors detect a vehicle or
pedestrian within the intended route in front of

or behind the car during a parking manoeuvre,
the car is auto-braked to stationary.

The driver display then shows a pop-up mes-
sage where the driver can choose to cancel
the parking manoeuvre by tapping on

Cancel

or tap

Resume

to continue the parking

sequence.

Proceed as follows after selecting

Resume

–

Check that there is free space around the
car and follow the instructions in the cen-
tre display, such as:

To continue

–

Gently accelerate away

from object

Leaving parallel parking with Park

Assist Pilot

The

Park Out

function can help the driver to

leave a parking space when the car is parallel
parked.

When leaving a parking space, the

Park

Out

function must only be used for a paral-

lel-parked car - it does not work for a per-
pendicular-parked car.

The

Park Out

function is acti-

vated in the centre display's
function view or in the cam-
era view.

•

GREEN button indication – the function is
activated.

•

GREY button indication – the function is
deactivated.

1. Tap on the

Park Out

button in the func-

tion view or in the camera view.

2. Use the direction indicator to select the

direction in which the car should leave the
parking space.

3. Be prepared to stop the car when instruc-

ted by the graphic and message on the
centre display - follow the instructions in
the same way as for the parking proce-
dure.

Note the steering wheel can "spring" back
when the function is completed - the driver
may then need to turn the steering wheel back
to the maximum steering angle in order to
leave the parking space.

If the function considers that the driver can
leave the parking space without any extra
manoeuvring then the function will be stop-
ped, even if the driver may consider that the
car is still in the parking space.

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot

The Park Assist Pilot (PAP

127

) function cannot

detect everything in all situations and may
therefore have limited functionality.

A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot limitations.

WARNING

•

The parking sensors have blind spots
where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

Pay particular attention if there are
people and animals near the car.

•

Bear in mind that the front of the car
may swing out towards oncoming traf-
fic during the parking manoeuvre.

IMPORTANT

Objects situated higher than the sensor
detection area are not included when cal-
culating the parking manoeuvre, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early – such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.

Parking is discontinued

A parking sequence will be discontinued:

•

if the driver moves the steering wheel

•

if the car is driven too quickly - above
7 km/h (4 mph)

•

if the driver presses

Cancel

in the centre

display

•

when the anti-lock brakes or the Elec-
tronic stability control are engaged - e.g.
when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road

•

as the steering servo for speed-dependent
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating

•

when the parking sensors detect a vehicle
or pedestrian within the intended route in
front of or behind the car during a parking
manoeuvre, the car is auto-braked to sta-
tionary.

Where applicable, a message in the centre
display states the reason for a parking
sequence being discontinued.

IMPORTANT

Under certain circumstances, the function
is unable to find parking spaces - one rea-
son for this may be the fact that there is
interference with the sensors from external
sound sources which emit the same ultra-
sound frequencies as those with which the
system works.

Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes
and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
will reduce their function and may prevent
measurement.

Driver responsibility

The driver should bear in mind that the func-
tion is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic
function. The driver must therefore be pre-
pared to interrupt a parking step.

There are also a few details to bear in mind
while parking, e.g.:

•

The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining whether the space selected by the
function is suitable for parking.

•

Do not use the function if snow chains or
a spare wheel are fitted.

•

Do not use the function if cargo items are
protruding from the car.

•

Heavy rain or snow may cause the system
to measure the parking space incorrectly.

•

During the search and check-measure-
ment of the parking space, the function
may miss objects positioned deep in the
parking space.

•

Parking spaces on narrow streets are not
always feasible, since the space required
for manoeuvring may not be sufficient.

•

Use approved tyres

128

with the correct

tyre pressure - this affects the ability of
the function to park the car.

•

The function bases itself on the locations
of vehicles already parked nearby – if they
are inappropriately parked, your own car's
tyres and wheel rims may be damaged by
contact with the kerb.

•

Perpendicular parking spaces may be
missed or offered unnecessarily if one

128

"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted on delivery from the factory.

parked car is protruding more than other
parked cars.

•

The function is designed for parking on
straight streets – not sharp curves or
bends. For this reason, make sure the car
is parallel to the potential parking spaces
when the function measures the space.
