In vehicles with the Gesture Control, optional equipment (OE 6U8), the moving camera angle can also
be controlled in this way.
The current angle is identified by a camera symbol. Depending on the view, the surroundings of the

The following graphic illustrates which conditions or prerequisites the parking space must meet to be
able to use the Remote Control Parking function.
G30 Prerequisites for Remote Control Parking
Index Explanation
A Potential parking area
B Operating range
1 Minimum parking space width 8.8 ft (2.7m)
2 Maximum movement range 29.5 ft (9m)
3 Distance to parking space, maximum 6.5 ft (2m)
4 Maximum distance of driver from side of vehicle 5 ft (1.5m)
5 Maximum 3 turn angle and 4 in (10 cm) offset to the center of the parking
space are compensated for by small steering adjustments
6 Maximum distance of driver from rear of vehicle approximately 10 ft (3m)
The Remote Control Parking assistance system can be used on gradients of no more than 5%. Use of
the assistance system in two-level garages is not intended.
