2019 G550 - Active Parking Assist
Super quick question - does the 2019 G550 have Active Parking Assist? Can't seem to find a straight answer. Any responses appreciated.

According to the owners manual (page 184), the '19 G550 does have PA, and the instrument panel icon has appeared on my display from time to time. The OM describes so many controlling prerequisites for its operation and its limitations (it might or might not work), I've never bothered using it. I learned how to parallel park without the aid of temperamental technology, and I find most of these driver assistance systems more annoying than useful. The backup camera is however a great help.

Off topic, but your comment reminded me of watching a lady try to get her Tesla to self parallel park last weekend for a good 5 minutes before finally giving up and trying to park herself. I found it amusing that someone would waste that much time trying to get tech to work that was obviously not willing to do what she was asking of it.
