Where is the Mercedes-Benz automatic parking button?

Mercedes-Benz's automatic parking button is located in front of the center console armrest. How to use automatic parking: When a small triangular arrow appears next to the blue P, it indicates that a suitable parking space has been detected. At this point, simply shift into reverse gear, press the OK button on the steering wheel, and follow the prompts on the dashboard. Do not touch the steering wheel during the process; just change gears as instructed. Models equipped with automatic parking: BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Accord, Magotan, Buick Enclave, Changan UNI-T, Haval First Love, Geely Xingrui, etc.
When driving my Mercedes-Benz, I noticed that the automatic parking button is usually located on the center console near the driver's seat, with slight variations depending on the model. For example, in my GLC series, it's a round button with a 'P' icon and the words 'Automatic Parking' printed on it, positioned on the control panel just below the steering wheel. To use it, simply press this button to activate the system. The system will then scan for parking spaces using sensors and prompt you to shift into reverse or drive gear while the steering wheel automatically turns to assist with parking. It's worth mentioning that this feature is particularly useful in crowded urban environments, especially for new drivers, as it reduces the risk of scratches. However, note that it only works below a certain speed limit, such as under 15 km/h, and not all Mercedes models come with it as standard—for instance, entry-level C-Class models may require an optional package. Regularly checking and cleaning the car's sensors is also important, as dust or dirt can affect detection accuracy. Overall, it's a thoughtful design that makes parking incredibly easy, and I always recommend friends to try it when buying a Mercedes.
