Driver assistance systems

The system supports the driver in the following situations:

  • When parking parallel to the road, parallel parking.
  • When reverse parking diagonally to the road, diagonal parking. The system orients itself with the middle of the parking space during diagonal parking.
  • When driving out of parallel parking spaces.
  • When exiting tight or confusing parking or street situations in reverse, see Back-up assistant.

General information

Parking assistant handling is divided into three steps:

  • Switching on and activating.
  • Parking space search.
  • Parking.

System status and instructions on required actions are displayed on the Control Display.

Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.

Steptronic transmission

The parking assistant calculates the best possible parking line and takes control of the following functions during the parking procedure:

  • Steering.
  • Accelerating and braking.
  • Changing the gears.

Parking is automatic.
