Park assist pilot

Effortless parking every time

Park Assist Pilot’s “Park In” scans for a suitable parking space (bay or parallel) as small as 1.2x the size of your car and then steers to help you manoeuvre into it.

Parallel parking

By indicating, you can select which side of the road the car looks for spaces on. Winding roads or inconsistent kerbs can confuse the sensors. Later, use “Park Out” for help getting out of tight spaces.

Bay parking

By indicating, you can select which side the car looks for spaces on. Once a space is found, stop when instructed. The car will then steer you into the space. All you have to do is reverse.

Tips for Park Assist Pilot

The driver is still responsible for keeping a close watch around the car, following the instructions in the Centre Display, selecting the correct gear, controlling and maintaining a safe speed, braking and stopping.

Make yourself at home

Your car seamlessly integrates with both your life and your smartphone via Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto. Plus if your car is fitted with either the upgraded Harman Kardon Premium Sound or Bowers & Wilkins sound systems you can enjoy immersive and highly customisable audio.
