Principle
The Back-up Assistant helps when reversing,
e.g., when pulling out of tight or unclear park-
ing or road situations.
General information
The vehicle stores the driving movements of
the last distance covered. This stored distance
can be driven in reverse with automated steer-
ing.
The system takes over the steering. The driver
must control the speed using the accelerator
and brake pedals.
A maximum of 164 ft/50 m are stored.
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver's personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
