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 vehicle controls acceleration, braking and steering during parking maneuvers. Even though Park Assist Pilot takes over the driving-related tasks of parking, you must still monitor the feature and its maneuvers. 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 vehicle. 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 vehicle 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 vehicle identifies an available parking space, it will be highlighted in the center display. You need to pass a spot before it appears as available in the center display.
Stop the vehicle and select the suggested parking space via the center display to park there.

Starting the parking maneuver

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

 Note

Your vehicle won't begin any automatic maneuvers until you have selected a parking space via the center display.
Let go of the steering wheel and follow any further instructions in the center display.

 Warning

Pay attention to your surroundings and take control over the vehicle if necessary.

 Note

During Park Assist Pilot parking maneuvers

You might experience Park Assist Pilot parking maneuvers differently, depending on the situation. Sometimes, it might seem like the feature is a bit hesitant or that the vehicle is going backward and forward 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 maneuver can't be completed, your vehicle will notify you. If you don't see a notification, you can let the vehicle continue parking as long it's safe to do so.

The vehicle confirms when it has completed the maneuver and puts the vehicle in park.
