  • If the Traffic Jam Assistant is active.
  • If the driver is currently parking using the Parking Maneuvering Assistant.

Limits of the system

The function may be restricted in the following situations:

  • If there are other objects in the field of view of the sensors that are concealing the cross traffic.
  • Heavy fog, rain or snow.
  • If the bumper is dirty or iced over.
  • If stickers have been attached near the radar sensors on the bumper.
  • If the speed of the approaching vehicle is very high.
  • If crossing objects are moving very slowly.
  • On sharp bends.

If a trailer socket is being used, for example to operate a trailer or bicycle carrier, the Cross Traffic Alert is not available for the area behind the vehicle.
