Advanced parking assist

manoeuvres the driver into a parking

for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
The system uses the sensors of the
parking assist system in combination
with two additional sensors on both
sides of the front bumper and the rear
bumper.
