Parking
Active Park Distance Control
Principle
Active Park Distance Control is the brake
function of Park Distance Control and ini-
tiates emergency braking in the event of an
acute risk of collision.
The system can be used below walking
speed when reversing or coasting back-
ward.
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be
prevented under all circumstances.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts
the brake intervention. Emergency braking
is not performed.
The Interaction Unit can be used to tempo-
rarily deactivate Active Park Distance Con-
trol as well as configure the settings for this
system.
General information
Follow the information in the "Parking as-
sistance systems" chapter.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There
is a risk of accident, injury, and property
damage. Adjust driving style to traffic con-
ditions. Watch the surrounding traffic sit-
uation closely, be ready to take over steer-
ing and braking at any time, and actively
intervene where appropriate.
