Requirements for the operation of parking systems
Intelligent parking system technology cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and only works within the limits of the
systems. Never allow the increased comfort
provided by parking systems to induce you to
take risks that compromise safety. Parking
systems cannot replace the driver's attention.
•
Always adapt your speed and driving style to
the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•
Always monitor the parking manoeuvre and the
vehicle's surroundings.
•
Please note that the reaction times of parking
systems may not be sufficient to issue a
warning in the event of an emergency.
too rapid an approach.
•
Always keep an eye on the vehicle's
surroundings and watch out for small children,
animals and objects.
•
Don't be distracted from traffic by the parking
system's indications.
Camera lenses magnify and distort the field of
vision. The image cannot accurately estimate the
distance between people and obstacles, which
can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
•
Do not rely solely on the representation of the
chambers.
In parking spaces without a kerb, keep a distance
of 50 cm from the parking space.
to walls and buildings to prevent damage to the
vehicle.

vehicle environment as well as possible and to be
able to display it on the infotainment system
screen, the following requirements must be met:
- The doors and tailgate must be closed.
—
The door mirrors are not folded down.
—
The terrain is flat.

→ p. 163.
Finding a suitable parking space
In order for a suitable parking space to be correctly
displayed or detected, the following requirements
should be fulfilled:
—
The length and width of the parking space is
greater than the dimensions of the vehicle.
and offer sufficient space for manoeuvring.
—
The distance when passing the parking space
is approx. 1 m (3 ft).
Indications on the display of
parking systems
The selection of possible settings varies depending
on the country, the equipment concerned and the
vehicle's equipment.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle's
approach to an obstacle is displayed in the
infotainment system with segments and is
accompanied by acoustic signals. The display may
vary depending on the situation.
The collision zone is reached when the penultimate
segment is displayed, at the latest. Do not continue
driving!
All equipment and representations are described
without specifying whether they are optional
equipment or model versions. The availability of
these systems depends on the equipment of the
vehicle.
General
indications
Suppress the sound of acoustic signals.
Adjust brightness, contrast and colour.
Display the indication. Hide
the display.
