Controls in detail Driving systems Collision warning Park Assist can detect obstacles from a considerable distance. If you drive in reverse towards an obstacle, you will hear a warning tone. You must then brake in order to avoid a collision. The warning tone for a collision will not sound when the vehicle is at a standstill very close to the obstacle. In this case, you will hear a corresponding tone for the warning indicator in the rear area.

When suitable parking space is found it is shown in the display and you receive steering instructions for parking in that space.
