Centre by pressing the SET/CLR
button or on Colour-Info Display tap

When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback in the Driver Information
Centre or Colour-Info-Display and an
acoustic signal are given.

within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or 6 metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is

Parking guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
6 metres for perpendicular parking
slots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A short vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver has to keep away
his hands from the steering wheel.
Pay always attention on the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
about 30 cm.
