Using Park Assist Pilot^*

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 display
• 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.

• No trailer is attached to the car
• Speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

Note

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

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
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 function view.

It can also be accessed from the camera views.

• Illuminated button – the function is activated.
• Extinguished button – the function is deactivated.

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 display state that a suitable parking space has been found.
   A pop-up window is shown.
3. Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular parking and select reverse gear.

Note

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

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 instructed by the graphic and message on the centre display.

Note

• Keep your hands away from the steering wheel when the function is activated.
• 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

1. Move the gear selector to the gear position 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 instructed by the graphic and message on the centre display.
3. Select reverse gear and drive slowly backwards.
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^[1]) 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 message where the driver can choose to cancel the parking manoeuvre by tapping on Cancel, or tap Resume to continue the parking sequence.
