Parking Package P47
My 2021 GLE450 has the P47 Parking Package. When I picked it up, the dealer spent about 30 minutes going over features, but not the parking package and I don't see it discussed here on the forum.
Does anyone here use this feature? If so for drive-in spaces, parking lots, parallel parking? Does this car actually park or just have camera assist?
I just did a keyword search of the order guide but it only listed the option, not what it does.

It will really self-park. Parallel, pull-in, back-in. But unless you are a terrible parker, it will be easier to park yourself. It takes a bit of time, but it will fit in spaces I would not have tried, and I've driven some VERY large vehicles in the past.

I think it actually has to see two cars to work. We have it but have never used it. The manual for this vehicle leaves much to be desired, but information starts on page 235. You're probably better off finding a video online that demonstrates.

I've actually found that it will park with no cars present. It will "see" white lines, whether by camera or radar, I don't know.

I would recommend you do an internet search for "YouTube Mercedes self parking". There will be a number of demonstration videos. Most, if not all of the videos, will say that you need two car ( not lines, not walls....) for the system to work. Above others have said differently and I have no reason to doubt their experience, that is something you can test for yourself. The videos will show you how to use the system to park and how to use they system to pull out of the parking space. I have not used the system much, but when I have, it did a good job. Also, I have used it for slightly angled parking and it worked fine for that too.

As mentioned, it needs a car or wall on either side to recognize and align for a space. Even if there are two open spaces next to each other, the car will not self park. I never use it because it's slow and the 360 degree camera makes it easy.
