Park Pilot Assist

Park Pilot Assist can help you maneuver in and out of parking spaces.

When active, Park Pilot Assist controls the vehicle with high precision, allowing you to park in parking spaces. It works for both parallel and perpendicular parking, as well as when leaving a parallel parking space. Park Pilot Assist controls steering, acceleration and braking during the maneuver.

 Important

Read everything

Read all information about the function before using it. It is important to know its proper use and limitations.

Detection of surroundings

Park Pilot Assist relies on the vehicle's ability to detect its surroundings. It primarily uses information from cameras and parking sensors.

Parking in a parking space

You can use Park Pilot Assist during parallel and perpendicular parking. When you activate Park Pilot Assist, it identifies available spaces close to the vehicle and presents them in the display. After selecting a space to park in, supervise the maneuver and follow any instructions provided in the display.

Leaving a parking space

You can use Park Pilot Assist to maneuver out of a parallel parking space if you used Park Pilot Assist to park there. When you activate Park Pilot Assist, the vehicle suggests an exit path. After confirming the path, supervise the maneuver and follow any instructions provided in the display.

 Warning

Pay attention

When using Park Pilot Assist, you must keep the same level of attention to your surroundings as if parking without assistance. Immediately take full control of the vehicle if necessary.

Driver responsibility

The driver is always responsible for driving safely and in accordance with traffic rules and regulations. Park Pilot Assist is not a substitution for the driver's attention and judgment.

Limitations

Park Pilot Assist cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read the separate manual section covering detection of vehicle surroundings and traffic before using features that rely on these capabilities.

Stopping Park Pilot Assist

You can always stop an ongoing maneuver. Depending on how you do so, Park Pilot Assist either pauses or ends the maneuver.

There are several reasons to stop an ongoing Park Pilot Assist maneuver, such as:
  • You want to take over and complete the maneuver on your own.
  • The current placement is good and you don't need it to continue.
  • You want it to stop for safety reasons.
You can exit Park Pilot Assist in different ways. For example, you can:
  • Press cancel in the display.
  • Start steering manually.
  • Press the accelerator or brake pedal.
  • Change gear.

Conditions and limitations

Certain events and conditions can prevent activation or pause Park Pilot Assist if they occur during the maneuver. For example:
  • An obstacle is detected in the parking path.
  • A camera becomes obscured.
  • The trunk, hood, or a door is opened.
  • The door mirrors are folded in.
  • The driver's seat belt is unbuckled.

Park Pilot Assist can resume the maneuver when the condition no longer applies. You can also choose to exit Park Pilot Assist and complete the maneuver without using it.

 Note

Towbar

If you have a towbar installed, some of the parking assistance features might be affected or unavailable.
