Parking using Active Parking Assist

WARNING Risk of accident due to insufficiently securing the vehicle against rolling away when exiting the vehicle

If you leave the driver's seat when the vehicle is being braked by Active Parking Assist only, it could roll away in the following situations:

if there is a malfunction in the system or in the power supply.
if the electrical system in the engine compartment, the battery or the fuses are tampered with.
if the battery is disconnected.
if the vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.

Before leaving the driver's seat, always secure the vehicle against rolling away.

The active braking function is only available on vehicles with an automatic transmission.

Bring the vehicle safely to a stop when the parking symbol with an arrow shows the desired parking space.
