CONTROLS
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
brake intervention. No emergency braking is
performed.
After emergency braking to a stop, further
creeping toward an obstacle is possible. Pro-
ceed with caution. To move forward, lightly
press the accelerator pedal and release as
needed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,
the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-
ble at any time.
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.
Sensors
The system is controlled by the following sen-
sors:
▷ Ultrasonic sensors in the front/rear bump-
ers.
▷ Ultrasonic sensors, side.
Turning off Active Park Distance

Drive-off monitoring
Principle
In case of a risk of collision, the start-up mon-
itoring reduces the drive power when driving
off.
General information
When obstacles are detected in close range in
front of the vehicle, the acceleration will be re-
duced. If necessary, this permits timely manual
braking.
