BMW 5 Series: Functional prerequisites
To use the Parking Maneuvering Assistant function, the following basic prerequisites must be met:
- The doors must be closed
- The trunk lid must be closed
- The driver's seat belt must be fastened
- The parking brake must be released
Measuring parking spaces
Parking spaces are measured while driving. The following parameters apply:
- Driving forwards straight-ahead up to approximately 22 mph (35 km/h)
- Maximum distance to the row of parked vehicles: 5 ft (1.5 m)
Detecting the curb
If a curb is detected within the range of the ultrasonic sensor while the system is searching for a parking space, the parking space is, for the most part, a space that is parallel to the road.
In the case of parking spaces that are perpendicular to the roadway, the curb is usually outside the detection range of the ultrasonic sensors (range approximately 14 ft (4.2 m) ).
