Worth me making a video for this?

Definitely gets my vote

Yes please Karl, although I have it on mine it's never "activated" when I want to park, usually just as I'm crawling along in traffic......

Just need to convince mates/Mrs to let me auto (hands free) park between their cars while I film

Useful for people that come here instead of reading the manual first.

On my w205 I have to indicate to the side where the arrow is, put it in reverse then I get a message to press ok to activate park pilot, it seems if I dont indicate I dont get the message

When using it I always feel the front end will clip the car, but touch wood it's been fine

Tried in in mine yesterday ( in the drive way, between 2 parked car's) Drove slowly past the space, and the (P) came on, so I indicated, and the msg came if I wanted to use the park assist So Pressed OK, it asked me to check all round the car and if it was clear, to again press "OK", which I did. Dash display changed to show a steering wheel with an arrow pointing downwards ( reverse ) so I started to slowly reverse, then another arrow indicated to turn the steering wheel "Down", the more I turned the wheel, the more the "arrow" changed to white, then down arrow came on ( reverse) which I did then for reason's best known to itself....it said " Assist Cancelled".......so back to the drawing board, and wait for Killethertz's video

Park assist and active park assist aren’t quite the same thing.

You should get the following happen. Taken from the manual

• The message Start Parking Pilot? Yes: OK No:
  
  appears on the multifunction display.

To cancel the procedure: press the

button on the multifunction steering wheel or pull away.
or

To park using Parking Pilot: press button

on the multifunction steering wheel.

• The message Parking Pilot active Accelerate and brake Observe surroundings appears on the multifunction display.

Took me over 6 months to get around to making it, but here it is

I watched it yesterday, thanks Karl. Can't go out though at the moment. From memory the P illuminates often but the arrow very seldom. Once normal driving resumes I'll update. Thank you very much for uploading!

Thanks will try. Didn't appreciate you have to select reverse then it asks you to confirm.
