Thread: Discovery Auto Park

I had a small play with it when taking an overnight test drive, it worked on a kerb-side parking attempt on the street one evening, and i tried messing around with it in the work carpark and it wouldnt work. I tried it at the dealer and again, it didnt work. the sales guy tried it and he said its a finicky gimmick and gave up on it also.
i might have gotten lucky with my kerbside attempt that one time, sad to say.
it does require a lot of room to manoeuvre during auto park, rear to kerb is the hardest to get to work, in my limited experience.
i'll report back when i receive delivery of my car in late march.

I tried it 3 or 4 times in my mates new D5 and it impressively parked rear parallel to the kerb 3 times and also did a 90-degree to the kerb park but on every single occasion would have crashed into the car in front in trying to get out so I guess they got a half right. Tis all a bit disconcerting though.

Mine is a RRS so might be different. I find you have to follow the instructions exactly or it is disabled. When I do that it works very well.

It's a bit like autoland in an aeroplane. Really weird, but you just have to trust it...
