Park Assist Plus may suggest parking spaces that are not suitable for the parking process due to the absence of a boundary or presence of intrusive adjacent
objects. This can result in vehicle damage.
Do not park next to overhanging objects, e.g. cargo bays, parked trailers, or beneath hanging objects.
Pay particular attention to the parking process in parking garages if the parking space is bordered by pillars.

Park Assist Plus with memory function
Introduction
Park Assist (Park Assist Plus) with
memory function helps drivers to park in
parking spaces they frequently use, e.g.
garages and driveways. The vehicle
automatically maneuvers toward a
parking space on a previously saved
vehicle path.
The availability of Park Assist Plus with memory function depends on the vehicle equipment.
System function
Park Assist Plus with memory function is an extension of Park Assist (Park Assist Plus).
The parking system uses the front camera to detect the surrounding area and saves the vehicle path to the parking space over a maximum distance of approx.
50 m (approx. 164 ft). Once the parking process has been saved in the Infotainment system, the vehicle can automatically drive the route to or from the parking
space.
The driver should continuously monitor the area surrounding the vehicle ⇒
.
Automatic braking support may intervene if there are obstacles in the vehicle's path or in dangerous situations.
Automatic, hands-free parking with Park Assist Plus with memory function may be prohibited or limited in some regions. Use Park Assist Plus with memory
function only where permitted by legal provisions.
Requirements
There are geocoordinates available for the vehicle position.
There is enough space to maneuver in. The vehicle may need to move a few meters to reach the calibrated vehicle path.
Driving with a trailer
Park Assist Plus with memory function cannot be activated if a trailer is connected to the electrical system.
If the trailer hitch was not installed at the factory, Park Assist Plus with memory function must be manually deactivated when towing a trailer.
