Leaving a parking space using Park Assist Pilot

You can activate Park Assist Pilot in the parking view. It's capable of manoeuvring the car out of a parking space when you're parallel parked.

The parking view often appears automatically, such as when you are reversing, but sometimes you need to open it manually. Find the Camera app in the contextual bar or the app library .

 Important

Before using Park Assist Pilot

Take the time to read everything about Park Assist Pilot in this manual before using it for the first time. Understanding its capabilities and limitations is important for safe use.

Assess the situation

Make sure the traffic situation and conditions are suitable for activation. Park Assist Pilot can only assist you when you are leaving a parallel parking space.

Your car controls acceleration, braking and steering during Park Assist Pilot manoeuvres. Even though your car takes over the driving-related tasks of leaving a parking space, you must still monitor the feature and its manoeuvres. This means that as long as you agree with what Park Assist Pilot is doing, you don't need to do anything to speed up, slow down or steer your car. However, you should always be ready to retake control if you feel you need to.

Selecting an available exit path

In the parking view, press the Park Assist Pilot button.

The car begins scanning for an exit path. Use the indicators to choose direction.

When a path is identified, its direction is highlighted in the centre display.

Press the highlighted suggestion in the centre display to confirm the direction in which you want to exit the parking space.
Start the Park Assist Pilot manoeuvre by lightly tapping the brake pedal once.

 Note

Your car won't begin any automatic manoeuvres until you have confirmed an exit direction via the centre display.
Let go of the steering wheel and follow any further instructions in the centre display.

 Warning

Pay attention to your surroundings and take control of the car if necessary.

 Note

During Park Assist Pilot manoeuvres

You might experience Park Assist Pilot manoeuvres differently, depending on the situation. Sometimes, it might seem like the feature is a bit hesitant or that the car is going backwards and forwards a lot. This is just part of the process but it can be due to difficulties with detection, positioning or planning. In other cases, you might feel that the manoeuvres are very fast or straightforward. If your confirmed exit path becomes unavailable or the manoeuvres can't be completed, your car will notify you. If you don't see a notification, you can let the car continue as long it's safe to do so.

The car confirms when it has completed the manoeuvre and puts the car in park.

 Note

Due to safety reasons, the Park Assist Pilot manoeuvres won't position your car completely outside the parking space every time you use it to leave a parking spot. In most cases, the manoeuvres stop when the car reaches a good point for you to take over and continue driving. You can then fully exit the parking space without using Park Assist Pilot.
