Understanding Mercedes-Benz PARKTRONIC® and Active Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC® guides you through the process of parking with accuracy. It scans for available parking spaces using sensors. The system identifies parallel and perpendicular spots. In Active Parking Assist, the car will steer into the parking area, but all you’ll be left to do is take care of the pedals and gear.

Tips for Maximizing PARKTRONIC® and Active Parking Assist in the 2024 E-Class
To perform at its best, turn slowly toward the parking spaces. PARKTRONIC works at its best at speeds under 22 mph. Always be alert when the system gives you visual and audible warnings. Use the 360-degree camera to survey your surroundings. Practice in an empty parking lot so that you can get comfortable with the features. Note: Active Parking Assist will not engage in parking spaces that are too narrow for your vehicle.Â
If you ever need to take manual control, simply grab the steering wheel. This instantly disengages Active Parking Assist. Be sure to use PARKTRONIC® whenever navigating tight spots. It reduces the risk of scrapes and collisions.
