Perpendicular parking assistance

How do you activate the perpendicular parking assistance? I drove slowly under 20mph, found a spot between 2 cars, turned on right-turn signal, the P showed up without the arrow, stopped my car, put on reverse ... but nothing happened. Parallel parking works when doing the same steps above. I thought the parking assistance can do both type. Am I missing anything here? Thanks.

Should involve some confirmations via the steering wheel controls.

Shift the transmission to position R.
The Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:
%message appears in the multifunction
display.
To park using Active Parking Assist:
press the OK button on the multifunction
steering wheel.
The Park Assist Active Accelerate
and Brake Observe Surroundings
message appears in the multifunction
display.

Thanks. No message appears in the multifunction display. It only works for parallel parking.

I didn't read closely enough, I don't believe perpendicular is a choice on the C218.
