Principle
The system supports the driver when reversing,
for example when driving out of tight or blind
parking spaces or narrow roads.
The vehicle saves the driving movements for the
last stretch of road. The vehicle can reverse
along this saved stretch with automated steering.
General
The system takes over the steering when revers‐
ing along the saved stretch.
The driver is responsible for operating the accel‐
erator pedal and the brake.
The reversing assistant uses the control func‐
tions and the sensors of the Park Distance Con‐
trol PDC and Park Assist.
