Trailer Hitch - Mercedes-Benz S-Class Saloon W223 2021 Owner's Manual

The manoeuvring brake function is only an aid. It
is not a substitute for your attention to the sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring
and parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
& WARNING Risk of accident caused by limi-
ted detection by the manoeuvring brake
function
The manoeuvring brake function cannot
always clearly detect people. Other obstacles
are not detected by the function.
In these cases, the function may brake unnec-
essarily or not brake at all.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation; do not rely on the manoeuvring
brake function alone.
Be ready to brake.
