Active Parking Assist sensor

Hi,

Is there anyway to selectively disable the rear Active Parking Assist sensor?

My front active sensors work, but I can never get the new c250 to get into Active Parking Assist mode.

Appreciate all help.

It is not very clear what you are asking here.
Do you want disable the rear sensors to get the Active Park Assist to work? I guess APA needs them to funtion properly.
Please elaborate.

Regards, Gerrit

Hi GerritKw,

I thought my rear APA sensors were DOA as a hand infront on the front sensors would detect but the rears would not show any detection.

I subsequently confirmed all is working now, since i now have confirmed the APA is infact working. The issue was that I was trying to get the APA to park itself after pulling up to a parked car. The APA wont activate unless it has detected 2 vehicles that you want to park between. I was testing only beside a single vehicle.

Apa is a pain in the ***, especially when some impatient **** wipe is right behind you.

APA came standard with my C350e. Its a nice gimmick and its nice to play with it at times. But i park my car 99% of the time manually.
You are correct in stating it needs 2 cars to park between. Its a nice gadget, but i think only useful for a limited group of users.

Regards, Gerrit
