Automatic parking function BMW 5 series E60/E61

Automatic parking function

The automatic parking function is only available in conjunction with the "Driver's mirror memory" option.

To improve the view of the curb, the mirror glass of the door mirror on the front-passenger side is folded downwards.

This function can only be performed under the following conditions

  1. Slide switch for controlling the door mirrors set to the "driver's door" position
  2. No trailer coupled to the vehicle

The automatic parking function is activated

  1. If terminal 15 ON
  2. 1 second after reverse gear is engaged

The automatic parking function is deactivated (mirror glass reverts to original position)

  1. If terminal 15 OFF
  2. If the slide switch for controlling the door mirrors is set to the "front-passenger door" position
  3. When reverse gear is disengaged

Manual control of the door mirrors is inhibited when the automatic parking aid is activated. The automatic parking function works regardless of whether the driver's door is open or closed.
