Warning!
The system cannot detect objects located
above the area that the sensors scan. These
objects, e.g. protruding load, overhang, or
truck tail lifts, will be ignored when computing
the parking procedure. The Parking Guidance
might therefore provide untimely steering
instructions. This could cause a collision.
Thus, do not use the Parking Guidance in such
situations.
G
Warning!
Make sure no persons or animals are in the
area in which you are maneuvering. You could
otherwise injure them.
!
Special attention must be paid to objects
with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts,
elevated crossbars or road curbs). Such
objects may not be detected by the system
and can damage the vehicle.
Use the Parking Guidance for parking spaces
that are
R
parallel to the direction of travel
R
located on straight streets, i.e. not in
curves
R
on the same level as the street, i.e. not on
sidewalks, for example.
Parking instructions:
R
On narrow streets, drive by the parking
space as close as possible.
R
Parking spaces that are dirty, overgrown or
located in front of trailers may not be
detected correctly.
R
Snowfall or heavy rain may cause imprecise
measurement of the parking space.
R
Also observe the Parktronic system
warning indicator (Y page 349) while the
Parking Guidance is active.
R
You may not use the Parking Guidance
when transporting cargo that protrudes the
vehicle.
R
Do not use the Parking Guidance when
driving with snow chains or when a spare
wheel is mounted.

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.
Detecting a parking space
The Parking Guidance is active when driving
forward. The system operates at a vehicle
speed of up to 22 mph (35 km/h). It scans
automatically for and measures potential
parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
