Fig. 119 Center display: rear cross-traffic assist display
General information
The rear cross-traffic assist monitors the area behind
and next to the vehicle using radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle. The system can
detect moving objects that are approaching, such
as vehicles fig. 178. A display in
the MMI 1
and various warnings provide assistance when exiting
a parking space.
Requirements for using the rear cross-traffic
assist:
- The parking aid is active.
- The speed while driving backwards is not higher
than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
Displays, warnings, and braking
- Display: the display 1 appears only when the
parking aid is active. In vehicles with peripheral
cameras, the display only appears in the Rear
and Rear corner camera views. Arrows show the
direction from which the cross traffic is approaching.
- Audible warnings: an audio signal may sound
as an additional warning when driving in reverse.
- Automatic brake activation: if you do not react
to a warning, a brief braking by the system can
warn you of a potential collision with an approaching
object.
The audible warning signal and the automatic
brake activation occur only when driving in reverse.
Switching the rear cross-traffic assist on and
off
- Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VEHICLE
> Parking aid > Rear cross-traffic assist,
or
- Select > Rear cross-traffic
assist in the center
display when the parking system is active.
