Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance system with ultrasound. It monitors the area around your vehicle using six sensors on the front bumper and six sensors on the rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC indicates visually and audibly the distance between your vehicle and an object.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning tone sounds from a distance of approximately 0.4 m to an obstacle. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approximately 0.3 m. You can set the warning tone in the multimedia system so that it will sound earlier at a greater distance of approximately 1 mMore.
If the Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display in the multimedia system is not active and an obstacle is detected in the path of the vehicle, a pop-up window for Parking Assist PARKTRONIC appears in the multimedia system at speeds up to approximately 10 km/h.
Obstacles below the detection range, e.g. persons, animals or objects.
Obstacles above the detection range, e.g. overhanging loads, overhangs or loading ramps of lorries.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush. Otherwise, they may not function correctly. Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to scratch or damage them.
Vehicles with trailer hitch: Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear zone when you establish an electrical connection between your vehicle and a trailer.
