Problem with Parktronic with Parking Guidance?

I would like to know if you are happy with the Parking Guidance of your C-Class coupe.
I have my car for 2 years now, and I managed to activate it only once!! I took it to the official dealer in my region for check twice and the diagnostic tool says everything is fine but of course I have reasons not to believe it...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts/concerns with me.

You have to drive really slowly for the P sign to appear on the dash, the turn signal must be activated when you see a little arrow next to the P sign and you have to do a full stop or it won't ask you if you want to activate parktronic, really not user friendly as you must turn the wheel yourself...

The most useless option of my car... I tried to use it sometimes but it's so complicated to use that I'm way faster to park myself in gaps without parktronic.

Thanks a lot Pascal.
At least now I know that I'm not the only one who is experiencing it. You are indeed right, most useless option ever; if we cannot use it is like we don't have it. Shame for MB

Completely agree, had it demonstrated when initially test drove the car before buying it and came to the same conclusion as yourself so have never used it in over 2 years of ownership, it's really only a park guide rather than a proper auto park feature which is what you get with higher up the range MB models, much easier/better and more accurate to just park yourself using the passenger side rear view mirror to not damage or gutter rash the rear wheel
