How well your vehicle will be parked after
completion of the Parking Guidance
depends on the position and shape of the
vehicles parked in front of and behind the
parking space as well as the conditions of
the immediate surroundings. In certain
cases, the Parking Guidance may guide you
too far into the parking space or not far
enough. If this is the case, cancel the
parking procedure with the Parking
Guidance and correct the vehicle position
yourself.
