A Check Control message is displayed.

Back-up assistant
Principle
The Back-up Assistant helps when reversing,
e.g., when pulling out of tight or unclear park-
ing or road situations.
The vehicle stores the driving movements of
the last distance covered. This stored distance
can be driven in reverse with automated steer-
ing.
The Reversing Assistant takes control of steer-
ing. The driver must control the speed using
the accelerator and brake pedals.
A maximum distance of 164 ft/50 m is saved.

tance systems" chapter.
