steering wheel in parking direction until
blue guide lines 3 and 4 appear and
the rectangle formed by guide lines 4
shows the desired parking position. If
another vehicle is located next to you,
the extended blue guide line 4 must
just touch the corresponding vertical
blue guide line 1.
Warning! G
If the respective vertical guide line 1 is not
yet located at the end of the parked vehicle
and you are already turning into the parking
space, you could collide with the parked ve-
hicle. Stop the parking procedure immedi-
ately. Pull out of the parking space and start
the parking procedure over again.

If an obstacle is inside of or protrudes into
the area marked by blue guide lines 4 for the
vehicle, the parking space is too small for the ve-
hicle.

If you turn the steering wheel too far, the
message “Steering wheel turned too far. Please
adjust steering wheel” appears on the COMAND
display. Turn the steering wheel back until the
message disappears and the extended blue
guide line 4 intersects with vertical blue guide
line 1.
If you back up using the wrong wheel angle, the
following appears in the COMAND display:
“Steering wheel turned too far. Park Assist dis-
abled.”. Pull out of the parking space and start
the parking procedure over again.
