Maneuver braking for Park Distance Control
1. To avoid a collision with an obstacle in front of the vehicle, apply the brakes using the brake pedal because no automatic braking support will take place.
General information
Switch the parking system off temporarily if automatic braking support happens too frequently or when undesired and maneuver the vehicle carefully, for
example when driving off-road or parking in your garage.
If the maneuver braking function for Park Distance Control intervenes to stop the vehicle, the function will be inactive for a distance of approx. 5 m (approx.
16 ft) when driving in the same direction. It will become active again if the gear or selector lever position changes.
The parking process is canceled following Park Assist emergency braking due to an obstacle.
Following a Rear Traffic Alert emergency braking intervention, it will take approx. 10 seconds before automatic braking support can occur again.
