If there is an obstacle next to the parking space (such as a wall), refer to Information for parking next to obstacles.

• Activate the turn signal.
• Position your vehicle next to a parked vehicle in front of the desired parking space. The distance to this vehicle should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m).

  The long side of the blue area should be on the curb. The entire blue area must fit into the parking space.

• With the vehicle stopped, turn the steering wheel to the right as far as it will go.
• Back into the parking space until the blue curve fig. 125 touches the curb in General information. Stop the vehicle.
• With the vehicle stopped, turn the steering wheel to the left as far as it will go.
• Continue to back into the parking space until the vehicle is parked parallel to the curb in General information. (3) represents the rear bumper. At the very latest, stop the vehicle when the red orientation line (4) borders an object. Keep an eye on the front of your vehicle while doing this.

Parking next to obstacles

If there is an obstacle (such as a wall) next to the parking space, position the vehicle so there is more space on that side. Position the long side of the blue area so that there is sufficient space from the object. The area must not be on the curb. You will also need to start turning the steering wheel earlier. The blue curve fig. 125 must not touch the obstacle, but rather there should be enough distance.

Tips

The left or right orientation lines and surfaces will be displayed, depending on the turn signal being used.
