When a suitable space is found, the touch

screen displays a message and a chime

sounds. Slow down and stop at

approximately position (A), then follow

the instructions on the touch screen.

Note:

You must observe that the selected

space remains clear of obstructions at all

times in the maneuver.

Note:

Vehicles with overhanging loads (e.g.

a bus or a truck), street furniture and other

items may not be detected by active park

assist. You must make sure the selected

space is suitable for parking.

Note:

The vehicle should be driven as

parallel to other vehicles as possible while

passing a parking space.

Note:

The system always offers the last

detected parking space (i.e. if the vehicle

detects multiple spaces while you are

driving, it offers the last one).

Note:

If driven above approximately 20

mph (35 km/h), the touch screen shows a

message to alert you to reduce vehicle

speed.

Note:

If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10

km/h), the system switches off and you

need to take full control of the vehicle.

completion, the system switches off. The

steering wheel position will not indicate the

actual position of the steering and you have

to full take control of the vehicle.

With your hands off the wheel (and

nothing obstructing its movement) and

the transmission in R (Reverse), the vehicle

steers itself as instructions to safely move

the vehicle back and forward in the space

are displayed in the touch screen. While

reversing, the touch screen displays a

message instructing you to check your

surroundings (for safety reasons) and to

back-up slowly, accompanied by a

corresponding graphic.
