No oppsies here, BUT, Park Assist is freaking awesome. I tried it twice while in Europe, I giggled every time.

My Window Sticker says 235 PARKTRONIC (with Active Park Assist)

In order to have Park Assist, you must have Parktronic (the visual sensors and signals). They are part and parcel. Well in the US at least.
 
my bad, just verified mine has parktronic/self park :D thanks spartacus

i didnt know it only works for parallel parking and not for verticle parking.
See it should! It came up once the image is a bit different than the parallel image in the driver dash screen. It shows vertical or perpendicular parking. But on both occasions it showed up, it missed the mark. This was trying to park in my driveway. So ill have to see if a Mall setting where the two points are actual cars, may work better.
But it should do both types of parking theoretically.


And apparently someone was able to do it easily.
 
The Parktronic almost had a meltdown in urban Paris. It was as if War and Peace was being read via Morse-code.
