WARNING
Risk of injury. Do not let the automatic
braking intervention tempt you to take
any risks while driving, as this can cause
accidents. The system is not a substitute
for the full concentration of the driver.

Trailer Backup Assist has system-rela-
ted limits. In some situations the auto-
matic brake intervention can only work
in a limited way or not at all.
·
If a dangerous situation occurs, take ac-
tion by applying the brakes yourself.
·
The automatic braking intervention is
ended
after approximately 1.5 seconds
at vehicle standstill.
·
Depress the brake pedal of the vehicle
yourself following the automatic brak-
ing intervention.
The exterior mirrors cannot be adjus-
ted while Pro Trailer Backup Assist is
active.
