tionary.

System limits
▷ When you reach normal road traffic or if you
encounter an obstacle, stop immediately
and take over control of the vehicle.
▷ The maximum speed when reversing is
limited to approx. 6 mph/9 km/h.
If the maximum speed is exceeded, a warn-
ing is issued and the function may be can-
celed.
▷ After driving a stored distance covered with
major steering-wheel angles, the function
of the system will be limited for the return
trip.
▷ In addition, the limits of the systems of the
Park Distance Control and the Automatic
Parking Assistant apply.
Different influences can lead to side deviations
when driving the stored distance covered in re-
verse. For example, this includes the following
factors:
▷ Steering movements when the vehicle is
stationary while storing the distance cov-
ered.
▷ The speed is not adapted to the distance
covered.
▷ Certain road characteristics such as gradi-
ents or inclines.
