the traffic crossing behind the vehicle as it
backs out of a parallel parking space or as it
is being manoeuvred, for example in very low
visibility conditions.

, an acoustic alarm is heard.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
infotainment system display. This signal is
displayed in the form of a red strip at the
back of the image of the vehicle on the info-
tainment system screen. This strip displays
the side of the vehicle towards which traffic is
approaching.

Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching
the rear of the vehicle and the driver does
not step on the brake, the system will engage
the brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The automatic intervention on the
brakes takes place when driving in reverse at
approx. 1-12 km/h (1-7 mph. After detecting
that the vehicle is stationary, the system
keeps it that way for around 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
You can interrupt the automatic braking by
stepping hard on the accelerator pedal or
the brake pedal in order to regain control of
the vehicle.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the rear cross traffic alert cannot overcome
the limits imposed by the laws of physics; it
only works within the limits of the system.
The parking assistant function should not
tempt you into taking any risks. The system
is not a replacement for driver awareness.
●
The system should never be used in limi-
ted visibility conditions or complicated
traffic, e.g., in high-traffic areas or when
crossing multiple lanes.
●
Be sure to always be aware of the vehi-
cle's surroundings, since the system often
fails to detect things such as bicycles or pe-
destrians.
●
The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the vehicle to a complete stop.
1) It is only displayed if the vehicle is equipped
with a parking system.
