impaired by dirt and snow or also residue from cleaning agents or coatings.
• The system requirements must be met
⇒
Prerequisites
.
• The camera is covered by water.
• The vehicle is damaged in the area around the camera, e.g. caused by parking collisions.
• The detection range of the camera is blocked by add-on parts, e.g. bicycle carriers.
• Changes have been made to the paintwork around the camera or the construction has been
modified, e.g. vehicle front end or the running gear.
Response to all circumstances
• Switch off the system temporarily.
• Check whether any of the causes described below apply.
• You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.
• If the system still fails to respond as expected, have the system checked by a qualified
workshop.
Brake support systems
Information on brake support systems
The vehicle is fitted with brake support systems. The systems can support the driver in critical
driving or braking situations. Brake support systems cannot overcome the limits of physics and
cannot always keep the vehicle under control in every single critical driving or braking situation. The
driver is responsible for driving safety

.
Driving with brake support systems
The brake support systems work when the engine is running. They do not need to be operated
separately.
The brake pedal may pulsate or noises may occur while the brake support systems are regulating.
Continue to apply the necessary amount of brake pressure. Apply the necessary pressure to the
brake pedal consistently. If necessary, steer the vehicle while the brake pedal is depressed.
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
• During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted
to do so by the system.
• Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.
WARNING
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 Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, the automatic braking
intervention function is only able to intervene in a limited way or not at all.
• You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle 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
braking intervention.
