Park Assist Pilot* limitations
The parking sequence is cancelled
A parking sequence will be cancelled if:
Park Assist Pilot (PAP104) may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.
the driver moves the steering wheel

•
the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h
(4 mph)
WARNING
Note that the steering wheel can "spring"
back when the procedure is completed and
the driver may need to turn the steering wheel
back to the maximum position in order to pull
out of the parking space.
The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be
detected.

pull out of the parking space without any extra
maneuvers, the function will be deactivated,
even if it seems as though the vehicle is not
completely out of the parking space.
Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-

A message in the center display will explain
why the parking sequence was cancelled.
Related information
•
Objects situated higher than the detection
area of the sensors are not included when
the parking maneuver is calculated, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.
•
Under certain circumstances, the function
may not be able to find parking spaces –
one reason may be that the sensors are
disrupted by external sound sources that
emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that
the system works with.
The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist Pilot:
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.
