Instructions:

Maneuver assist activates automatically when reverse gear is engaged while the engine is running. The maneuver assist offers support when maneuvering and parking by monitoring the area in front of, behind, and beside the vehicle using sensors. If there is an impending collision with an object, the system will intervene within its limits and attempt to prevent the collision by applying the brakes. The system can detect objects that are approximately 8 inches (20 cm) high or higher.

Braking intervention can be initiated if there is an impending possible collision with a detected stationary object. If the brakes were applied until the vehicle stopped, the message” Maneuver assist: vehicle has been braked. Obstacle detected” will appear and you must take over control of the vehicle. If you continue driving toward the obstacle after the vehicle is braked to a stop, maneuver assist will automatically be temporarily deactivated until the next maneuvering situation.

You can turn the maneuver assist on or off in the parking aid menu of the MMI.
