Information on whether a function is currently available in the vehicle and if or when the function can be installed in the vehicle can be obtained from an authorized service center or another qualified service center.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment

General information
The vehicle stores the driving movements of the last distance covered. This stored distance can be driven in reverse with automated steer-ing.
The system takes over the steering. The speed must be controlled by the driver using the ac-celerator pedal and the brake.
A maximum of 164 ft/50 m are stored.
Follow the information in the “Parking assis-tance systems” chapter.

Safety information

Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate.

NOTICE
The system can steer the vehicle over or onto curbs. There is a risk of damage to property, among other potential damage. Watch surrounding traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.

Functional requirements

• Drive forward without interruption to store the distance covered.
• To store the distance covered, do not drive faster than 22 mph/35 km/h.
• Dynamic Stability Control is activated.

Driving in reverse with automated steering

1. Turn on drive-ready state.
2. With the vehicle at a standstill, press button or engage reverse gear.
   The parking assistance systems view is displayed.
3. “Back-Up Assistant”
   Follow the instructions on the Control Dis-play where required.
4. Take your hands off the steering wheel and carefully drive in reverse with the accelerator pedal and the brake.
   Green: the system takes control of steering.
   When driving in reverse, observe the vehicle’s surroundings.
   In case of obstacles, stop immediately and take over control of the vehicle. Follow the instructions for Park Distance Control.
5. Right before the end of the stored distance covered, a signal tone will sound and a message is displayed. Stop no later than when normal road traffic is reached and take control of the vehicle, such as by shifting to forward gear.

Canceling the Back-up Assistant manually
The assisted reversing by the Back-up Assis-tant can be canceled manually:

• Via touchscreen: “Back-Up Assistant”
• Press the button.

Canceling the Back-up Assistant automatically
The system automatically cancels in situations such as the following:

• When the driver grasps the steering wheel or takes over steering.
• When shifting from reverse to another se-lector lever position.
• During activation or intervention by driver assistance systems.
• After an extended period of time when the vehicle is stationary.
• When exiting the stored lane when revers-ing, for instance with maximum steering-wheel angle.
• When the view on the control display is overlaid with messages.
• In case of a slippery surface.
• When the vehicle is rolling, such as on a slope.
• In case of changed ambient conditions.
• If the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 6 mph/9 km/h.

System limits

• The maximum speed when driving in re-verse is limited to approx. 6 mph/9 km/h. A warning occurs at a speed of approx. 4 mph/7 km/h.
  If the maximum speed is exceeded, the function will be canceled.
• After driving a stored distance covered with major steering-wheel angles, the function of the system will be limited for the return trip.
  Different influences can lead to side deviations when driving the stored distance covered in re-verse. For example, this includes the following factors:
• Steering movements when the vehicle is stationary while storing the distance covered.
• The speed is not adapted to the distance covered.
• Road characteristics, such as gradients, in-clines or slippery road surface.
• Greatly deviating conditions when storing and driving the route, for instance other tires or changed ambient conditions like weather.
  Also follow the information on system limits in the “Parking assistance systems” chapter.
