What are the differences between the BMW driver assistance systems Parking Assistant, Parking Assistant Plus and Parking Assistant Professional?

Parking Assistant includes Back-up Assistant, a rearview camera, Active PDC (Park Distance Control), side protection, parking-drive-off monitoring and an emergency braking function to prevent parking damage. The vehicle recognizes parking spaces as it passes and parks automatically if necessary.

 

Parking Assistant Plus additionally includes the functions parking view, Remote 3D View, Drive Recorder and Remote Theft Recorder. In conjunction with Parking Assistant Plus, your BMW shows you obstacles behind, in front of, or next to the vehicle when the camera perspective is turned on during parking and driving off.  

 

The Parking Assistant Professional also includes the Automatic Park Assistant, Maneuver Assistant and Remote Control Parking functions. The Parking Assistant measures potential parking spaces as you drive past and announces them with an acoustic signal and visually in the control display when the parking view is activated. You can also control the Automatic Park Assistant and Maneuver Assistant from outside your vehicle using the My BMW App on your smartphone.

 

Please note: You remain responsible for constantly monitoring traffic during automated parking and maneuvering and must be able to intervene at any time.
