If a trailer is connected electrically, the automatic braking support in the rear area is deactivated.
If the trailer hitch was not installed at the factory, the parking system must be manually deactivated when towing a trailer.
General information
Switch the parking system off if automatic braking support happens too frequently, like when driving off-road.
If the maneuver braking function for Park Distance Control intervenes to stop the vehicle, the function will be inactive for a distance of approx. 5 m (approx.
16 ft) when driving in the same direction. It will become active again if the gear or selector lever position changes.
The parking process is canceled following Park Assist emergency braking due to an obstacle.
Following a Rear Traffic Alert emergency braking intervention, it will take approx. 10 seconds before automatic braking support can occur again.
