Yes, the AMG Performance Steering Wheel in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class W465 can be used to activate the Remote Parking Assist feature, provided the vehicle is equipped with this functionality.
How Remote Parking Assist Works via the Steering Wheel:
-
Activation through Steering Wheel Buttons:
- The Remote Parking Assist can typically be activated using the buttons on the steering wheel. The driver may need to press a dedicated button or combination of buttons, depending on the specific model and configuration.
-
Mobile App Control:
- Once activated, Remote Parking Assist can allow the driver to control the car's movement from outside the vehicle using the Mercedes me mobile app or the key fob. This means that, with the steering wheel's help, the driver can initiate the parking process remotely, using their phone or a fob to maneuver the vehicle into tight spots.
-
Using the Steering Wheel for Precise Control:
- If the car is in Remote Parking Assist mode and the driver is seated inside, the steering wheel can be used for fine-tuned control, particularly in parking scenarios that require maneuvering in confined spaces, such as when parallel parking or backing into a garage.
Key Features of Remote Parking Assist:
- Self-parking in tight spaces: The system can handle parking maneuvers, whether the space is parallel or perpendicular to the vehicle.
- Autonomous control: The system takes control of the vehicle's steering, throttle, and braking, allowing for seamless parking without the driver’s direct input.
- Integration with the vehicle’s sensors: The system uses various sensors and cameras to ensure safe parking by detecting obstacles around the vehicle.
The integration of Remote Parking Assist with the AMG Performance Steering Wheel is part of Mercedes-Benz’s intelligent driver assistance systems, enhancing convenience and safety.
