Rear Cross Traic Alert)
How it works
Fig.164 Diagram of the parking assistant:
detected area around the vehicle that is
driving o.
Park Assist uses the radar sensors on the rear
bumper ›››page195 to monitor traic cross-
ing behind the vehicle as it reverses out of a
parking bay, or as it is being manoeuvred, for
example in very low visibility conditions.
When the system detects a relevant vehicle on
the road that is approaching the rear of the
vehicle ›››Fig.164, an acoustic alarm may
sound if the relevance so requires it.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
infotainment system display. This signal is dis-
played in the form of a red strip at the back of
the image of the vehicle on the infotainment
system screen. This strip displays the side of
the vehicle towards which traic is approach-
ing in transverse direction
