Where is the automatic parking button for the GLC260?

The GLC260 does not have a dedicated automatic parking button. When the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h, the GLC260 automatically detects parking spaces. Once a parking space is detected, a "P" will appear on the instrument panel. At this point, turn on the turn signal, shift into reverse (R) gear, and the car will automatically park into the space. The GLC260 is a mid-size SUV under the Mercedes-Benz brand, equipped with two engines: a low-power version and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power version produces 197 horsepower and 320 Nm of maximum torque, with peak power at 6,100 rpm and maximum torque available between 1,650 to 4,000 rpm. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The high-power version delivers 258 horsepower and 370 Nm of maximum torque, with peak power at 6,100 rpm and maximum torque available between 1,800 to 4,000 rpm.
My Mercedes-Benz GLC 260 has an automatic parking function, which is quite simple to use. First, drive at a low speed—below about 30 km/h, and the system will automatically detect empty spaces along the roadside or in parking lots. Once detected, a prompt icon will appear on the dashboard. At this point, find the button labeled 'P' on the left side of the steering wheel and press it to activate. The system will guide you to shift into reverse or drive to start the parking process. The car controls the steering, and you only need to manage the brake and accelerator while staying attentive. I often use it in shopping centers to avoid scratches and save time. But a reminder: the system isn’t foolproof—ensure there are no obstacles around and use it preferably in clear weather. Don’t rely on it in heavy rain or cluttered areas; safety comes first.
I'm very interested in automatic parking technology. On the GLC 260, the activation button is marked with a "P" in the steering wheel area. The operation steps are to drive at low speed to let the sensors scan for parking spaces, and once detected, press the button to start. The system uses cameras and radar to calculate the path and automatically turns the steering wheel, while you manually control acceleration and braking. This cleverly designed feature eliminates the hassle of manual steering, and I often use it to quickly park in narrow city streets. However, it's important to note that the sensors may malfunction under strong light, so it's recommended to regularly check the system to maintain accuracy. The benefit is improved efficiency, but don't completely let go—monitor the process to prevent accidents.
