Park Assist automatic braking
Park Assist can help the driver by braking automati-
cally in certain situations. The driver is always re-
sponsible for braking in time →
page 185.
Depending on certain conditions such as weather,
vehicle condition, vehicle load, or vehicle angle, the
Park Assist system can bring the vehicle to a stop
before it reaches an obstacle. Depress the brake
pedal! An automatic brake intervention to minimize
damage stops the current parking maneuver.
