Parking Guidance
Important safety notes
Parking Guidance is an electronic parking aid
with ultrasound. Ultrasound is used to meas-
ure the road on both sides of the vehicle. A
suitable parking space is indicated by the
parking symbol. You receive steering instruc-
tions when parking. You may also use
PARKTRONIC (
Y page 181).
Parking Guidance is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your imme-
diate surroundings. You are always responsi-
ble for safe maneuvering, parking and exiting
a parking space. When maneuvering, parking
or pulling out of a parking space, make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects
in the area in which you are maneuvering.
G
WARNING
If objects are located above the detection
range, Parking Guidance may provide steering
instructions too soon. You may cause a colli-
sion as a result. There is a risk of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off Parking Assist.
!
If unavoidable, you should drive over
obstacles such as curbs slowly and not at a
sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage
the wheels or tires.
When PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking
Guidance is also unavailable.
Parking Guidance may also display spaces
not suitable for parking, e.g.:
R
where parking or stopping is prohibited
R
in front of driveways or entrances and exits
R
on unsuitable surfaces
