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 parking in a parallel or perpendicular parking space.

Your car controls acceleration, braking and steering during parking manoeuvres. Even though Park Assist Pilot takes over the driving-related tasks of parking, 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 of parking if you feel you need to.

Selecting an available parking space

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

The car begins scanning for available parking spaces.
Drive slowly in gear D to continuously scan for available spaces. Use the indicators to choose which side you want to park on.
When the car identifies an available parking space, it's highlighted in the centre display. You need to pass a spot before it appears as available in the centre display.
Stop the car and select the suggested parking space via the centre display to park there.

Starting the parking manoeuvre

Start the parking manoeuvre by lightly tapping the brake pedal once.

 Note

Your car won't begin any automatic manoeuvres until you have selected a parking space 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 over the car if necessary.

 Note

During Park Assist Pilot parking manoeuvres

You might experience Park Assist Pilot parking 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 parking process but it can be due to difficulties with detection, positioning or planning. In other cases, you might feel that the parking is very fast or straightforward. If your selected parking space becomes unavailable or the parking manoeuvre can't be completed, your car will notify you. If you don't see a notification, you can let the car continue parking as long it's safe to do so.

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