Away Assist is not available when you are revers‐
ing.
Function of cross traffic warning
The cross traffic warning can warn you of cross‐
ing traffic when you are reversing out of a park‐
ing space. The radar sensors in the bumper also
monitor the area adjacent to the vehicle.
The cross traffic warning is automatically active
when you reverse at a speed of less than approx‐
imately 10 km/h.
Depending on the country, the cross traffic
warning can be deactivated or activated in the
Manoeuvring assistance menu (
/
page 256).
If a critical situation is detected, the following
symbol appears in red in the selected view in the
Camera & parking menu:
Warning for crossing traffic behind : the vehicle
can be automatically braked if cross traffic is
detected.
% If the cross traffic warning is not available,
the L symbol appears in grey. If the
Camera & parking menu is not opened in the
central display, the symbol and pop-up of
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC both appear.
The cross traffic warning is only an aid and not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
& WARNING Risk of accident caused by
limited detection performance of the
cross traffic warning
The cross traffic warning cannot always
clearly identify objects and traffic situations.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation; do not rely on the cross
traffic warning alone.

Be prepared to brake or swerve as nec‐
essary, provided the traffic situation
permits and that it is safe to take eva‐
sive action.
