Its the Manoeuvring brake function I believe.The manoeuvring brake function can prevent collisions with pedestrians when the vehicle is reversing at slow speeds. If the reversing camera detects a person in the vehicle path, the vehicle can be braked to a standstill

Did the symbol disappear after backing up a couple feet? It might have been an indication that the side to side sensors were obstructed by the vehicles adjacent to yours.

People are referring to the Drive Away Assist, but that warning triangle is not the Drive Away Assist. I can't find that particular warning tringle, but that looks like it's indicating a failure or the Drive Away Assist not being available. That's a crossed out brake symbol, which typically indicates an issue related to the braking system. The Drive Away warning triangle looks different.

Problem is I did check owners manual and found zippo for this. Even dealership could only guess.
But please share if you found it in the OM.

That symbol showed up on my car too recently, even if there's no cars next to me. Also don't know what it means. I don't remember seeing it before. The car still beeps and vibrates the brake pedal and brakes when there a car or person behind while in reverse.

Search for Park Assist and you will get more actual details.

Sign means that parking assist is not available or is disabled sign. Meaning you currently cannot use park assist, in your case makes sense since your photo shows you are clearly between 2 obstacles it cannot locate an open spot. Or it will appear when it is still loading/initilizing after start because it takes a long time to activate.

Bingo! I think you nailed it. Def has something to do with Active Parking Assist. There is same logo in the Active Parking menu which also has message "Act. Park. Assist Currently Unavailable. See Operator's Manual."
Can't find the symbol in the owners manual but there are many reasons listed why it may be unavailable.
thanks for the lead. Maybe I'll find the answer now!
