the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle
will deactivate the function. In this
case, close or open the tailgate

on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
The safety function is indicated by a

After ignition is switched on, the rear
parking assist is activated.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
50 cm while a forward gear is
engaged, respectively up to
1.5 metres while reverse gear is
engaged.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals inthe vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear
obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre 3 112.
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a
higher priority. After dismissing the message distance indication appears again.Deactivation
