How to Operate the Automatic Parking Function on Mercedes-Benz GLB?
2 Answers
When the vehicle approaches the parking spot, the owner simply needs to press the automatic parking button located on the center console armrest to activate the automatic parking function. After detecting a suitable parking space, a triangular symbol will appear next to the "P" on the central control screen, indicating that a suitable parking spot has been found. The owner then needs to shift the vehicle into reverse gear. The central control screen will prompt to use the automatic parking function, and the owner can press the confirmation button on the steering wheel to proceed.
I'm the type of person who's particularly interested in automotive new technologies, and I think the automatic parking feature in the Mercedes-Benz GLB is really cool. It's quite simple to operate: just maintain a low speed while driving, and the system will automatically scan for roadside or parking lot spaces. The dashboard will display detected available spots, and you can choose between parallel or perpendicular parking types before pressing the confirm button. At this point, the system takes over the steering wheel—you only need to control the brakes and accelerator. Remember not to touch the steering wheel during the process, or it will interrupt. Be extra cautious in tight spaces or during rainy conditions; although the system is smart, it's not perfect and might occasionally miss a spot. This feature saves time, but I recommend practicing in an open area first to get familiar with it before using it for daily parking. Overall, it's a practical technological highlight.
