Interventions and warnings when reversing
Forms of detection
The car has several ways to identify objects that are in or approaching your reversing path. If it detects an object, the car can provide warnings or intervene by braking.
| Ultrasonic parking sensors | These sensors can identify certain obstacles immediately behind the car when reversing at low speeds. |
| Rear-facing radar | The car's rear radars can detect traffic approaching your reversing path from the sides. |
| Camera | Certain features may use camera detection to help identify obstacles when reversing. |
Important
When you are reversing, some information from the detection systems can be communicated in the parking view.
Warning and intervention features
| Alerts about traffic crossing behind the car1 | Your car can provide visual alerts if it detects traffic about to cross your reversing path. |
| Automatic braking when reversing2 | The car can automatically brake if an obstacle is detected immediately behind the car while reversing at low speeds. |
Tip
Temporary deactivation
These features can be temporarily turned off if their interventions are too frequent or distracting. For example, reversing in tall grass or manoeuvring in very tight spaces can cause unwanted braking interventions.
Important
Use responsibly
Warnings and interventions when reversing are supplements to safe driving practices. They do not reduce or replace the need for the driver to stay attentive and focused on driving safely.
Pay attention to surroundings
The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the car's surroundings and ensuring that it is safe to manoeuver the car.
