The maneuver assist supports the driver when
maneuvering and parking by monitoring the area

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 will detect objects that
are approximately 8 inches (20 cm) high or high-
er.

The displays @ - @ indicate the status and avail-
ability of the maneuver assist.
