How do I use the Automatic Parking Assistant in my MINI?

The MINI Parking Assistant parks your car for you. It takes over, accelerating, braking and steering to get into parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.

 

  1. Press the Parking Assistant button below the toggle bar to open Parking View OR just shift to reverse.
  2. When you drive slowly past parked vehicles, your MINI scans for free spots. The parking assistant will then suggest parking spaces AND maneuvers on the display and head up display. 
  3. Select an option - Park forward, backward OR select alternative parking spots. You can now even park between line markings. 
  4. Let go. While the car moves automatically you can slow down with the brake.
