WARNING
Principle
When the trailer tow hitch is in use, the as-
sistance system cannot react correctly if its
sensors are obstructed. There is a risk of
accident or material damage. Do not use
the assistance system in trailer operation or
when using the trailer tow hitch, for example
with a bicycle carrier.
The Park Distance Control brake function ini-
tiates emergency braking if there is an immi-
nent risk of collision.
General
Due to the system limits, a collision cannot be
prevented under all circumstances.
The function is available at speeds below
walking speed when reversing or rolling back.
Sensors
The system is controlled using the following
sensors:
Pressing the accelerator pedal suppresses the
brake intervention. Emergency braking is not
performed.
▷
▷
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumpers.
Side ultrasonic sensors.
After emergency braking to a stop, it is possi-
ble to continue a slow approach to the obsta-
cle. To approach, lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal and release it again.
Temporarily deactivating Active
Park Distance Control
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for longer,
the vehicle pulls away. Manual braking is pos-
sible at any time.
After emergency braking, the function can be
temporarily deactivated on the control display.
