Electric Sliding Door - Mercedes-Benz V-Class Operating Instructions Manual

Obstacle detection with reversing
function
The sliding door is equipped with automatic
obstacle detection with reversing feature. If a
solid object blocks or restricts the sliding door
during the automatic closing process, the slid-
ing door opens again automatically. If the sliding
door is obstructed during the opening proce-
dure, it moves back a few centimetres in the
opposite direction and stops.
Automatic obstacle detection with reversing
feature is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attentiveness when closing the electrical
sliding door.
If an obstacle is detected, the display shows the
Left-hand electric sliding door
