MERCEDES A CLASS 2019 ACTIVE PARKING ASSIST TEST IN TRAFFIC PARKTRONIC

[@rogertaboyle1]

My E Class has it. I find it terrifying as it parks in much smaller spaces than I would try normally

[@IvanSensei]

Sometimes better is to choose larger space, not because car wouldn't park there but because if you park close to others, they may scratch your car because they don't have this feature

[@darrenevans1852]

That is a good point ivan

[@eazy1437]

you are right its amazing what they are capable of nowadays but we should choose larger spaces

[@msbarb1]

I found this very useful, even though I'm an excellent Parker, I have this and love the option to use it or not, thank you Ivan for the tutorial.

[@IvanSensei]

Thank you! It's a great feature 👍🏼

[@eazy1437]

This is unbelievable, you can also learn from it if you use it daily, what a great feature !

[@Onespeed94]

I love this car and this feature. I am bad at parallel parking so it's perfect for that !

[@IvanSensei]

Yes, very useful 👌🏻

[@HSpongebob9]

Subbed as soon as you said: “I park my car as far away as possible from other cars” i’m exactly the same! 😂

[@robertobticino3034]

I have the same system in my Mercedes.... But in Italy we have 2 problems: 1) the parking area between two cars Is often very tight so that the park assist does not spot the area.... Second problems: the cars behind, comes very quickly and we have to do the maneuver very quickly. I use it just for fun

[@wolfe1970]

I like that the mirror auto tilts down so you can see the kerb.

[@vladbalan13]

You should have more subscribers! You put a lot of work in those videos! Good job! Keep it up!👍

Thanks, I'm happy you like my content!

Thanks for the great vids...can't wait to get my new A-Class 1st March

[@tinkbyers1541]

This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Tbh I’m really really good at parking but I get nervous when spaces are a little smaller than what I would usually park in. Lol

[@IvanSensei]

Great!

[@tinkbyers1541]

Ivan Sensei this is a wonderful video Ivan, thank you. ❤️

[@IvanSensei]

Thanks! And thank You for watching!

[@ab-tn4yp]

Have this feature in my 2019 c class and i can say it useless in high traffic streets in more dense city areas. Parking space has to be larger than it actually needs to be. You have to drive really slow in order to make.this thing work. In my case , in high traffic, traffic jam situations, still I am the one who has to park manually.

[@mannaggaguz9620]

So you have no problem parking. Great. Be happy.

[@Aressa]

just saw this vid in my recommended and my mind is blown, never knew my car could do this

[@mariakaradzhova6855]

Hi and thanks for the video. Can you put a tutorial for suspension settings on AMG pls

[@edl100]

My old 2011 B-Class has this feature and I only used it a few times to impress kids.

[@Eatprepd]

This looks like the AMG executive pack is that right? Do you recommend paying more for premium? Also which engine do you recommend for normal motorway driving

[@marcofernandes581]

The premium pack is the intermediate and price / quality is the best one! If you normal motorway use I recommend the 180d I have one and it's good, it's not a super car but delivers, if you want more fun go for the a200

[@firefoxuser2557]

i can only wish these beautiful car interiors were put in an elecric car and reliability wasnt an issue... it would open up to a huge section of the market

[@absolutium]

There is a reason you can have such astonishing interiors with an S Class or a Bentley etc.. Weight vs range. Which is the main issue of EVs.. You can think of EVs poor quality interiors for the price as a consequence of the battery costs and weight. But look at the CLS 53.. might be the right spot for you.

[@akio2730]

Does it park also in narrower spaces? It should be more useful in that situations when the space is not so big like in your exemple.

[@pfosirens1398]

Yes. I tried it. It can park very well!

[@Zero-sm8oi]

Does the car automaticly give gas or does it only steer in the parking spot?

[@1981zayn]

Thank you I like this new MBX, is there going to be a video please on the Navigation with building overlay ?

[@IvanSensei]

Overlay where? Thanks

[@ezitobezito5251]

Hello Ivan, your left screen only shows 1 dail? is this the smaller screen or can you do 2 dails?

[@adriansverckov9685]

Nice car

[@IvanSensei]

Thanks!

[@larryporker4146]

Nice video bro! Does the car sense moving traffic as it is pulling out of the space? As in it won’t pull out in to oncoming traffic?

[@IvanSensei]

Thanks! I don't know I didn't risk it trying that. I rather looked in the mirror and make sure no traffic is there.

[@IvanSensei]

It also says on the display that you need to watch your surroundings

[@larryporker4146]

Ok thanks :)

[@dd-dd2co]

Does this feature come as standard in A-Class hatchbacks and sedans?

[@FirstnameLastname-fb5ok]

Brilliantly done. Perhaps this question maybe not relevant. When Park tonic is activated. Do you need to indicate or doesn’t require that.

[@IvanSensei]

Check 3:40 car will turn on indicator automatically without me!

[@sparky30368]

That's useful to know the car can drive out of the space. I was not told by the dealer (on collection date) my W177 even had Parktronic..

[@IvanSensei]

Thanks Jim, that's unfortunate, I tried this feature with Mercedes expert when he showed me main features with the car on collection day, we tried also this on their parking lot. Luckily you can use it now!

[@Buzzshot_GW]

Is this available in the uk coz I don’t think my a200 amg line with the premium package option thing has this

[@IvanSensei]

I just checked UK configurator, Premium package £2,395 Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC

[@Buzzshot_GW]

Ivan Sensei yeah just did it my friend. Didn’t even know I had it

[@IvanSensei]

Happy to help buddy

[@Whiponized]

Does this come in base models.

[@tamgaming9861]

would you recomend a 360° camera or is it okay what you have. Do you miss the 360° cam?

[@IvanSensei]

I think it's nice but not neccessary for me. Depends where do you park often. I think it's a must for larger cars like SUV pr big sedans

[@tamgaming9861]

@@IvanSensei Thanks a lot for this answer. Wasnt unsure if its needed or not, or only a toy. We want to buy an used A-Class 177, but often they dont have this 360° cam. What also hard to find is the Multibeam, but i love it. Sure the C-Class has the better one, but not soo much, that its such a huge difference. Do you think the multibeam in your new A-Class is better than the LED you had before in the A-Class? And maybe one more question, can you tell me what is the thing you dont want to miss in your A-Class anymore and order in the new A-Class too?

[@christopherchia8034]

Hi, does this PARKTRONIC feature come as standard or with top-ups? Also, does your mirror automatically lowers to show your rear wheels or it is an optional package as well?

[@bosskelvin195]

what do you do for a living?

[@OhayoR]

lol this is really cool!

[@RomanDodin]

Hi Ivan. Which package/option delivers 360° camera?

[@NoName-gc9tu]

Does it park in normal spaces? Not just parallel spaces?

[@IvanSensei]

Yes! I can film that as well.

[@NoName-gc9tu]

Ivan Sensei thanks for quick reply! That would be great 👍🏽

[@IvanSensei]

Cheers!

[@akio2730]

Please could you specify the model of the car? Is it a diesel A180d?

[@The0nlySplash]

Why did you get parktronic but not the larger Instrumentcluster screen? The small one really looks ugly

[@IvanSensei]

I was choosing between cars from the cars which were in stock at that moment, car wasn't ment for me but ended up with me. So I didn't spec this car, just picked from 10 cars from stock back in June 2018. Otherwise I'd get premium package

[@chinitomelara8880]

[@Adam-vy6nl]

Cri It curbed my alloys, not using it again

[@thomaslong5428]

What speed is best when searching for a parking space

[@IvanSensei]

I recommend slow speed so you can stop whenever you choose specific parking space.. On the video I drove around 15kmh (9mph) and then slowed down to 10kmh (6mph)

[@vetterplane]

Is this an A180d sedan?

[@IvanSensei]

A180d hatchback

[@vetterplane]

Ivan Sensei is this feature also available on the A180d Sedan Proggresive line?

[@IvanSensei]

Not sure if it's included. Probably a separate package

[@vetterplane]

Ivan Sensei ohhh ok then. I just wanted to ask because I am buying one tomorrow

[@austin.2716]

That’s a handy feature but I would want to see if this would work after 7 years. Only time will tell.

[@davyhoogy]

Is this manual or automatic car version?

would this work if for example there was no car behind you so there was a car in front and 2 spaces behind could the car still auto park or does it need a car in front and car behind?

[@IvanSensei]

It needs space for one vehicle

[@edbredin6406]

I am planing to get a Mercedes A class in 2020 but it looks so complicated but great video

[@IvanSensei]

Good luck bud, and thanks

[@GunnyPhillips]

Thanks for the demo. My 2018 S450 has this feature but it does not seem to be at all reliable. It misses most obvious spaces, even though they fit the criteria of having parked cars on either side. Today it actually identified a space where there wasn't one and proceeded to start self-parking maneuvers. It ended up lightly bumping another parked vehicle before I realized there wasn't even an available space and took over. I noticed your examples were both parallel parking whereas I was trying to back into spaced in a lot. There is either something wrong with my car or Mercedes should never have released this system.

[@MPD90]

How on earth did you not notice that no space existed? That's your responsibility!

[@carlovanerp4555]

I have this too on my 2021 GLB200. It's horrible. The car always tries to park in spaces too small for the car and it can only find spaces between two othe objects, never behind or next to one other car. Don't use it unless you are very secure of what it is doing.

[@Nnn30055]

I tried it out too for a good 5 minutes and it just wasn’t picking up anything.. maybe because it was dirty?

[@warren6223]

[@IvanSensei]

Thanks man

[@Dizzyish]

Hi Ivan. I was wondering if this feature could be added into a vehicle at a later stage? Suppose I've purchased a 2019 A200 and decided after that i want it, would it be just a software update or hardware as in additional sensors which would need to be installed? Also, could it do alley docking parking as well?

[@IvanSensei]

I can't say, you need to ask your dealer. Alley do you mean perpendicular? Then yes. I'll do updated video Parktronic with more examples on my A220 soon

[@Dizzyish]

Ivan Sensei thanks!

[@exunderscorejai]

The only thing that worries me about parking assist is that yes, you can get in tight gaps but what if the people behind or in front of you are just really bad drivers?

As for your comment on women parking don’t kid yourself. They are as good as any male and better at it than many male drivers because of a better defensive attitude to the task. I’ve though a few thousand of them in 30 years. I should know. The fault can be with their teacher or partner.

[@Mr_FK]

Hi, nice useful vids. My a class is on the way with parktronic also. I have question about parking spots that are half on sidewalk half on the road, does it also work on those kinds of parking spaces, does it slow down when it has to go up the sidewalk or its not recomended to use on this spaces?

[@IvanSensei]

Never tried that. I think it depends how tall the sidewalk border is. If too high then you need to go on it at different angle. I would guess if sidewalk has smooth transition to the road then it could do it.

That's true but often people don't park parallel so they forgot how to do it. That's when this system comes in help. Also it's a comfort feature same as cruise control. You are using cruise control because it's more comfortable not because you can't brake or add throttle.

@@IvanSensei Oh okay. Thank you for your quick answer! Great video. I just bought an A35 and I'm looking forward to this parking feature. Never needed one, but I wanted the park sensors and they come only with the parktronic feature. Are you still satisfied with how the car parks automatically? I'm curious if it's working perfectly or if it still needs some work.

[@IvanSensei]

Congrats to A35! I tried it like 15 times and it always parked great! But some people from FB group said their car was sometimes too close to the curb. So watch your side mirror, which will tilt down so you can see the curb

[@darexdarex]

Ivan Sensei I have used this system in my MINI, but on very narrow streets, it seems to ignore the opposite-side curb, and can hit it. It also doesn't see traffic, so one has to be very careful that there's space and time enough to use the system. Consequently, I hardly use it. Perhaps MBUX is a lot smarter?

[@IvanSensei]

You have to watch traffic also, but parking maneuvre itself is very quick, much faster than human parking, I say it's better, but can't see for sure because I never tried MINI system
