No parking assistance
The parking assistant does not offer assistance in the following situations:
- In tight curves.
- For diagonal parking spaces.
- At very high or very low external temperatures.
Functional limitations

- On bumpy road surfaces such as gravel roads.
- On slippery ground.
- On steep uphill or downhill grades.
- With accumulations of leaves/snow in the parking space.
- With a mounted emergency wheel.
- In case of changes to an already-measured parking space.
- With ditches or edges, for instance an edge of a port.
Functional limitations due to radio interference

Limits of ultrasonic measurement
The detection of objects with ultrasonic measurements can run into physical limits, e.g., in the following situations:
- For small children and animals.
- For persons with certain clothing, for instance coats.
- With external interference of the ultrasound, for instance from passing vehicles or loud machines.
- When sensors are dirty, iced over, damaged or out of position.
- Under certain weather conditions, e.g., high relative humidity, wet conditions, snowfall, cold, extreme heat, or strong wind.
- With tow bars and trailer couplings of other vehicles.
- With thin or wedge-shaped objects.
- With moving objects.
- With elevated, protruding objects such as ledges.
- With objects with corners, edges, and smooth surfaces.
- With objects with a fine surface structure such as fences.
- For objects with porous surfaces.
- With small and low objects, for instance boxes.
- With obstacles and persons at the edge of the lane.
- With soft obstacles or obstacles covered in foam material.
- With plants and bushes.
- Low objects already displayed, for instance curbs, can move into the blind area of the sensors before or after a continuous tone sounds.
