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 can also still use
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC (Y page 153).
Parking Guidance is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering, parking and exiting a
parking space. Make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects in the maneuver-
ing area when you are maneuvering or parking.
G
WARNING
If objects are located above the detection
range, Parking Guidance may provide steer-
ing instructions too soon. You may cause a
collision 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 they cannot be avoided, drive over
obstacles such as curbs slowly and at an
obtuse angle. Otherwise, you may damage
the wheels or tires.
When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is switched
off, 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
