Advanced Parking Guidance only shows parking spaces on the front-passenger side of the vehicle unless you activate the driver's side (left) turn signal. If you would like to park on the driver's side, the left turn signal must remain on until reverse gear is engaged.

If Advanced Parking Guidance detects an obstacle behind the vehicle during the parking procedure, you will hear an audible warning. Stop the vehicle immediately.
