Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. Due to system limitations, it can‐
not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
When the trailer tow hitch is in use, the driver
assistance system could cause damage if its
sensors are obstructed. There is a risk of acci‐
dent or material damage. Do not use the driver
assistance system during trailer operation or
when using the trailer tow hitch, for example
with a bicycle carrier.
NOTE
Park Assistant may steer across or up onto
kerbs. There is a risk of material damage. Ob‐
serve the traffic situation and intervene actively
if the situation warrants it.
In addition, the safety notes apply for Park Dis‐
tance Control PDC.
