What must you note when using the active park assist?

When using an active park assist system, it's crucial to understand its limitations and responsibilities as a driver. The feature is designed to assist with parking but does not fully replace the driver's need to stay alert and aware of their surroundings.

1. The system must have the potential to be overridden if hazards exist. This means that as a driver, you are still responsible for taking control if there are any emergencies or obstacles that the system may not detect.

2. It's a common misconception that using such technology means you can ignore other road traffic. In reality, the driver must always remain vigilant and attentive because the system may not detect every possible obstacle or situation you might encounter during a parking maneuver.

3. While the active park assist can help detect certain obstacles, it does not guarantee that all obstacles will be reliably identified. There are limitations to sensor capabilities, and some obstacles might be missed.

Thus, combining these points is essential for safe driving practices in Germany, as outlined in traffic regulations. Always being ready to intervene ensures your safety and the safety of others around you while operating a vehicle equipped with parking assistance technology.
