Mercedes-Benz has improved its Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC, with the new version allowing compatible Mercedes vehicles to park at speed of up to 4 km/h (2.5 miles per hour) – which is twice as fast as before.

Available in almost all models, the improved automated parking feature initiated via a digital button on the screen, now makes parking easier and more comfortable for Mercedes-Benz customers in everyday situations.

The automated parking enhancement come standard in the E-Class, S-Class, EQS, EQS SUV, EQE and EQE SUV. Maybach versions of these models has parking package with reversing camera while the 360° camera is optionally available.

How the Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC works

The vehicle continuously searches for parking spaces at speeds below 35 km/h and displays this on the driver display with a blue “P” symbol. When the Mercedes finds a space, a white arrow appears on the display next to the “P” symbol.

After engaging reverse gear, the driver can select the parking space and start the automated parking process. During automated parking, the vehicle responds to changes and ensures the safety of all road users.

If the sensors detect crossing vehicles, cyclists, or fast-walking pedestrians while reversing out of a parking space, an optical and audible warning is being issued. If the driver still does not respond, the vehicle performs an autonomous emergency braking.
