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 PARK-
TRONIC (
Y
page 171).
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.
! Pay particular attention to low objects or
objects with flat surfaces, such as trailer
drawbars, posts, cross beams and curbs.
These types of objects cannot be detected
by Parking Guidance and may damage the
vehicle.
When PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking
Guidance is also unavailable.
