Auto. Parking Assistant: driving out
I’m still figuring out how to use all the features of my new ‘24 M40i.
One of the ones that’s confusing me a bit is the part of the Parking Assistant feature that lets the car take over leaving a space. Multiple times, when I’ve tried to use the feature, nothing has happened: no arrow to click onto to show the car where to go. I have followed the instructions to the letter, but bupkis most of the time. Earlier today, I let the car park itself into a fairly tight space. It did so. When I returned to the car, I thought I’d let the car guide me out. Nothing. I opened the owners manual on the screen to double check the instructions. When I went back to the parking screen, the red arrow appeared. I clicked on it, and the car drove me out of the parking space. That’s the only time I’ve been able to activate it. What am I missing? (I searched the archive, but didn’t find another message on point.)

I might be wrong - but never saw something that takes you OUT of a space. The only thing you may be thinking of (unless I'm mistaken) is that shit reversing assistant which is not terribly accurate on mine, but others love. Drive into a space, engage reverse, hit the reversing assistant button on the screen and it will drive about 50m or so backwards where you came from.

I did once activate the reversing assistant by acccident, when I was trying to do something else. It felt weird having the car reverse down the street by itself. lol Here’s a screenshot from the owners manual:

Yes. It’s that Step #4 that is the hang up: the indicator arrow almost never pops up.

I got it to work today. The arrow appeared. I clicked on it. The car did its job.
It may just not activate if it thinks that there is plenty of room to pull out. Time will tell.
