Functional networking
The parking assist consists of the PMA control unit and 2 ultrasonic sensors which take charge of measuring out the parking space. The steering movements required for parking the car which are calculated by the control unit are then carried out by the electromechanical power steering system (EPS).
The parking maneuvering assistant calculates the optimal line for parking. The parking maneuvering assistant takes over the steering during the parking procedure. During parking, additionally observe the visual and acoustic information of the PDC and the parking maneuvering assistant and accelerate or brake accordingly.
In view of the complex nature of the parking maneuvering assistant, many control units are interlinked by the bus system.

The parking maneuvering assistant can be enabled using the park button or by engaging reverse gear. All subsequent operation is then performed via the controller. The longitudinal guidance by the driver monitors the system using the ultrasonic sensors of the Park Assist system (PDC). The Central Information Display (CID) displays the parking operation to the driver continuously. Parking maneuvering assistant is not possible during trailer towing and in sharp bends.
