Interventions and warnings when reversing
Your car has specialised features that can intervene and help prevent collisions when you are reversing at low speeds, such as when parking.
Forms of detection
The car has several ways to identify objects that are in or approaching your reversing path. If it detects an object, the car can provide warnings or intervene by braking.
| Ultrasonic parking sensors | These sensors can identify certain obstacles immediately behind the car when reversing at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). |
| Cameras | The car's rear- and side-facing cameras can detect traffic approaching your reversing path from behind or from the sides. |
Important
These types of detection have limitations and cannot detect all obstacles in every situation. Be sure to read the separate manual sections about their conditions and limitations.
When you are reversing, some information from the detection systems can be communicated in the parking view.
Warning and intervention features
The following features are designed to react when the car identifies a risk of collision when reversing.
| Alerts about traffic crossing behind the car1 | Your car can provide visual alerts if it detects traffic about to cross your reversing path. |
| Automatic braking | The car can automatically brake to prevent a collision when reversing. This can happen if it detects traffic crossing behind the car. |
Important
Use responsibly
Warnings and interventions when reversing are supplements to safe driving practices. They do not reduce or replace the need for the driver to stay attentive and focused on driving safely.
Pay attention to surroundings
The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the car's surroundings and ensuring that it is safe to manoeuver the car.
