PARK ASSIST in Mercedes EXPLAINED!

I have this on my V class but sometimes it trys to do a reverse into a bay instead of parallel parking and wants to put its arse on the curb. Is there any way of switching which type of park it does?

Hi Nick, can you tell me what suppose to have in the boot of the A180, recently I bought one and only looked in the boot recently and there is nothing there at all. Thanks man.

Maybe it only t t works when the steering wheel is on the correct side of the car and you are driving on the right side of the road.

Hi Nick, in EQB do we need to use brake to control the speed? or does not need it at all? thanks

hi
how torn off -parking assist?
how remove blue P from board ?

My C118 with Park Assist can fully park by it self. You don’t need to use the brakes… just be ready to brake

It’s very unreliable system.

Hi there and thanks for all the videos - love them. I have a question about the Manoeuvring Assistant feature on my 2021 CLA Shooting Brake. There seems confusion about what this actually does - referring also to Drive Away Assist in the same part of the manual. Is this something that just happens when using Parking Assist or does it also work if parking without using Parking Assist. Any help and explanation appreciated.

This is one system that I just fail to see the point of. I had it in a Volvo and I tried it once but it was so slow to react I never used it again. I’m convinced that there is no way such an auto parking system can ever work as quickly and efficiently as a driver can do it - that’s always assuming that you can park a car of course. If you are incapable of easily parking a car, bay or parallel then you shouldn’t be driving on the road as far as I’m concerned.

You should move the steering wheel to the left side. It looks weird on the right side.

Been a month and nothing but trouble

Hi Nick. Any ideea if the park assist feature can save a parking spot ( home driveway) and being able to just use the same spot without searching for spots?

This is amazing but have to say the S-class looks stunning

Thanks for this, now the mysterious P indication has to be tested 😮

Why would you do automatic parking,,, when u are legend at manual parking 🔥👍

If you wait, it will go forward and then back in at a better angle. My salesman was telling what would happen.

Love the hidden features. I went out to my 2024, SEL350 AMG, 4matic,(SUV), and tried the ejector seat trick with Mercedes!!!😂 Too Funny!! I have not used, "Park-assist," yet, as it scares me...😵 I will continue watching!!! However, I received a call today from Mercedes Financial, (21-9-23) and "a month ago," I traded a 2018 300SLC for; The 2024 SLE350 W4. (I owed money on the 2018 when I traded ). Mercedes says that I have to, pay the 2018, and they say that I have two accounts...Fair enough,,, I will take both of them!!! I make $240,000, a year after taxes!!! The problem is that, the 2018, is not coming back to ME,,, Ever!!! So, if I pay for it, I want it in my driveway!!! They charged me for the 2018 in my contract???, so am I going to pay it off twice??? (NO!!!) Then please consider the reason. The 2018, is valuless!!! I owe $27,000, on the car. They can sell it for around; $16-18k. So, they would lose more than $8,000!!! The 2024, was about; $46,000+++ (the warranty, dealer fees, taxes, ect.) So, in 5 years it will be worth; 16-18k!!!😲 (And I will have one for $31,920, and, $59,420... for both Mercedes!!! (That is after they are both paid off in 2030). So, after two Mercedes I am under water by; $60,000.00!!! They are panicking because the car market is falling apart, as I type. My vehicle and BMW, Cadillac, Jaguar, Bronco, Ram, Ford, DYN, Tesla, are all making the same cars. And they are over $100,000, even more for a Maybach!!! (Maybach are $250,000+ and my steering wheel is the same one. (Old Detroit???) Thank You for the tricks. Hopefully the finance manager will take care of it for me.

Made for useless bad drivers

Would me GLC 21 plate have it? i press the button but it fails to act with any sensors.

Heya nick! I have a 71 plate CLA premium plus 2 and I have trouble with it finding a spot in car parks or parallel spots. Also I thought premium plus 2 has the adaptive cruise controls and driving assistance. Would be greate if you could explain or do a video about it

So ridiculous to figure out good god what a nightmare

Hello Nick,
System will only find the space between 2 cars ? Or it does not matter? Because in my car it finds parking space only between 2 cars

Please let me know

Does MBUX have a car wash mode? Thanks again

Hey Nick,
Can memory park assist track a path towards a normal garage at home & drive forward through the door opening of the garage bay & then be able to reverse out again when leaving? You may have covered this already but I can’t find it.
Cheers Steve

I'm kind of the opinion that if you can't park your car, you've got no right to be driving. Is this really of any use or is just a gimmick?

Park Assist?...waste of money & time!...less hassle & easier to park the car yourself

Thanks for the video Nick. I have EQC 4matic 2021. I have the park assist button which upon pressing gives an option on the screen of normal, wide camera view and park assist. When i press park assist the screen shows its on however the little car icon in the upper right hand corner does not show any activity of scanning the space around the car. a friend has identical model with identical specs and she has it all working. its just my car that seems to be acting strange. unless i have the EU restriction and she doesn’t which is even more bizarre. secondly my car does not go into ‘hold’ mode when i ease and apply hard the foot break 🙁

@npoleary Hello Nick, Love your videos, can i get your guidance, will you be able to get me a GLE with Driver Assistance Package which has "Lane Change Assist"

Hi Nick, do u know if there is any way of increasing how quickly the car moves when using parking assist? I have it on a new glc and it is painfully slow manoeuvring. I had it on an a class previously and it was far quicker moving. It really moves at a snails pace on the glc lol. I had cars beeping the horn at me earlier as i crawled backwards into a parking space lol

If this system could detect more than 1/20 parking spots it would be amazing. I can't tell you the number of times I just give up because it flat out doesn't work. :(

I just traded in a 2019 S class for a 2023 s class. The park assist on the 2019 Worked very well never had an issue with finding or parking. The 2023 Park assist is horrible it doesn't identify spots That it should be identifying. I've had the car for 2 months and have tried using it A few times but it's really only worked once.

The used gle 350 2022 I bought didn’t list this as a feature while other listings had it listed so we just thought it wouldn’t have it. Paid to purchase the original window stocked to get an idea of what features there actually are as the was the heated and cooled cup holders but it was not listed on the website. So we thought they might’ve missed a lot of features and they sure did! There is the park assist, and the full driver’s assistance package plus! Not to mentioned that the amg exterior package was not listed as well, but that you can clearly tell. We haven’t had much time to explode the different features until now so was pleasantly surprised to find all the extra features!

I'm having a hard time coming up with any common reason to use this feature and pay the extra money for it. I guess if my hand/arm was incapacitated, yea. It's just a neat little very expensive car trick.

Bmw does this better, you don’t need to change gears or brake at all, the whole process is fully automated

That is a very pleasant feature while you are still learning your car or your car's measurements. Once you got used to it, any average driver will park faster as precise, which makes it useless in my eyes.

I find it. Very confusing that the car will not park when there are 2 spaces

Pointless system have the full parking system in my car used it 0 times in 4 years. If you can’t park don’t drive. Parking a car does not need a 4 point turn and buttons all over the place and screens. Just put it in reverse and steer.😊

Thanks Nick for another great video. I am leasing a 2022 A Class 220 which came equipped with the active park assist. I tried using the feature a couple of times and it did not work for me very well. However, after watching your video I realize the mistakes I was making. This video is super helpful as well as all your other videps I have watched thus far. Your videos are better than reading the manual and are far more interesting 🙂. Keep the videos coming!

Not very useful with cars waiting behind you. Actually quite stressful

LOL, while I have this on my SUV, I never park near the plebs that would guarantee body damage, and thus, parking is never a challenge.

I just bought a Mercedes, and had no idea it had a park assist. But when I tried pushing all the buttons, I realised it had one. And I came here to figure out how it works. So thanks for the demonstration!

Good video, what MB doesn’t tell you is that it can only and only park between two cars. It cannot identify parking spots if no car has parked on the sides. Technically if there are two empty spots right beside each other it fails to find it or even park there. Also it cannot park into a garage.

Hello Nick.
I have not been able to park my car, MB A200, and they showed it to me at the store, my car has the active park assist. My parking lot is in a basement, near the end of the row, so after my space there are only three more parking spaces, and then a wall, so I drive as much further past my space, as I can. Even so, the system does not detect my space. There is a concrete column between my space and the next one. Could this be the reason? Another question, if the parking spaces on the sides are empty, does it not detect any at all? Hope he question is clear, english is not my native lenguage.

My parents have a 2019 B220
I just showed th how the automated park assist works. But one question still remains i was't able to answer. Can the car detect ditches or gaps?
If you have a parking row next to a deep ditch, and you let the park assist reverse into the parking spot, will it detect the deep ditch, or will ot just reverse into the ditch and there you have the trouble? We tried but the car reversed so far to the ledge of the ditch that the back wheel was already at the ledge. And was panic stopi g it manually. Wasn't brave enough to let it continue.

Do the gls 63 have a memory

Random question but l bought a used Mercedes from a non Mercedes dealer, can I still do into my local Mercedes dealer for queries, or do they dislike it when people who didn’t buy from them come in? 😬

He did you know the driving assistent package has downgraded? It can not change lanes anymore

An absolutely crap system. A competent driver could have parked that in one go, and offset correctly so the driver is not squashed, and squarely in the parking bay.
A dumb system for dumb drivers. More money than sense.

>> due to United Nations Regulations (UN-R 79) not all cars have "Active" Park Assist.

What NWO Communist BS is this?
