Reverse warning device
Notes on the reverse warning device
& WARNING Risk of accident due to peo‐
ple or objects in the area in which you
are manoeuvring
Other road users could fail to hear or ignore
the warning tone of the reverse warning
device. There is a risk of accident if you do
not make sure that the area in which you are
manoeuvring is free.
#
While manoeuvring, make sure that
there are no people or objects in the
area in which you are manoeuvring.
#
If necessary, a second person must
assist you while you are manoeuvring.
The reverse warning device is a system designed
to assist you in ensuring the safety of other road
users. The reverse warning device cannot guaran‐
tee that there are no people or objects behind
your vehicle.
The reverse warning device is an acoustic warn‐
ing system that is integrated into one of the vehi‐
cle's tail lights. The reverse warning device is
activated when you shift into reverse gear.
When using the reverse warning device described
here, observe the legal requirements for the
country you are currently in.
When you switch on the ignition and shift into
reverse gear, the reverse warning device is activa‐
ted and always set to loud volume.

loud volume or to deactivate it: select
the Controls menu and the Switch menu item
in the multimedia system.

the reverse warning device.

lowing meanings:
