How to use the automatic parking feature in Audi A4L?

Here is a detailed guide on how to use the A4L's automatic parking feature: 1. Activate the parking assist function. Drive at a speed below 40km/h and press the parking assist switch located on the right side of the gear lever on the center console to enable it. The Volkswagen Lamando's parking assist system defaults to searching for parking spaces on the driver's right side. If you need to find a parking space on the left, simply turn on the left turn signal. 2. When the system detects a suitable parking space, it will display it on the screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to position the car correctly and shift into reverse gear to start the parking process. The screen will also show "Steering Intervention Activated." Simply release the steering wheel and use the brake to control the speed below 7km/h. 3. For smaller parking spaces, multiple gear shifts may be required. Just follow the on-screen instructions accordingly.
The automatic parking feature on the Audi A4L is really foolproof. I used to struggle with parallel parking, but now I rely entirely on this function. See that button on the center console with the 'P' and steering wheel icon? Keep your speed below 30 km/h, drive near the parking spot, and press it. The system will automatically scan for empty spaces using radar. When a parking space icon with arrows appears on the dashboard, select it. Then shift into reverse, take your hands off the steering wheel, and don't touch it! The car will steer itself into the spot, with the screen and audio prompts guiding you. Remember to use the brake to control speed, and after parking, engage the handbrake and shift to P mode. On rainy/snowy days or in very tight spaces, it might not detect accurately—in those cases, it's better to park manually.
