What does the blue P on the Mercedes dashboard mean?

[BrandonRose]

The blue P stands for Parking-assistance, which means parking assist. When the blue P is illuminated on a Mercedes, it indicates that this function is currently activated. How to turn it off: You can disable the automatic parking function by pressing the automatic parking button located near the vehicle's center armrest. The blue P on the dashboard will then disappear. Additionally, when the vehicle exceeds 35 km/h, the blue P indicator will automatically disappear. When driving below 35 km/h, if the automatic parking function remains enabled, the blue P will reappear and automatically scan for available parking spaces. How to use automatic parking: If a small triangular arrow appears next to the blue P, it means the system has detected an available parking space. At this point, simply shift into reverse gear, press the OK button on the steering wheel, and follow the instructions on the dashboard. Do not turn the steering wheel during the process—just follow the prompts to change gears as needed.
