Remote Parking Pilot is an additional function of Parking Pilot. Comply with local traffic laws and regulations when using Remote Parking Pilot on public roads.
Remote Parking Pilot supports the parking procedure while you are outside your vehicle. Once you have selected a suitable parking space, you then exit the vehicle and guide it into the parking space using a suitable mobile phone. Remote Parking Pilot accelerates, brakes, steers the vehicle and changes gear. You can cancel the parking procedure at any time using your mobile phone.
You can also use your mobile phone to move your vehicle backwards and forwards in the straight-ahead position (exploration mode). This is useful, for example if a garage is so narrow that it is difficult or impossible to get in or out of the vehicle after it has been parked. Parking Pilot automatically performs any minor steering corrections that are required.
Remote Parking Pilot is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that no persons, animals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring range. Comply with local traffic laws and regulations when using Remote Parking Pilot on public roads.
For the Remote Parking Pilot function, you require a mobile phone and the current Remote Parking Pilot app.
