The manoeuvring brake function can prevent collisions with pedestrians when the vehicle is reversing at slow speeds. If the reversing camera detects a person in the vehicle path, the vehicle can be braked to a standstill.
The vehicle is reversing at a speed slower than 10 km/h.
The camera image is shown in the central display More.
You can activate and deactivate the manoeuvring brake function in the Manoeuvring assistance menu More.
If the manoeuvring brake function is triggered, the symbol appears in red in the selected view in the Camera & parking menu:
If the manoeuvring brake function is not available, the same symbol appears in grey.
The manoeuvring brake function is only an aid. It is 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.
The manoeuvring brake function cannot always clearly detect people. Other obstacles are not detected by the function.
In these cases, the function may brake unnecessarily or not brake at all.
