Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance system which monitors the area surrounding your vehicle and shows you the distance between the vehicle and a detected obstacle visually and audibly.

The passive side impact protection also warns you of obstacles to the side. These must be detected beforehand by the sensors in the front or rear bumper while driving by them. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The passive side impact protection can be activated and deactivated via the multimedia system.

In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles on all sides can be shown.

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.

Messages in the central display

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is operational, the respective areas of the display are shown in blue.

  • Operational, front and rear
  • Operational, all around
  • Operational, all around and obstacle detected
The colour of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:

  • Blue: > 1 m (no obstacles detected)

  • Yellow: approx. 1 m - 0.7 m

  • Orange: approx. 0.7 m - 0.4 m

  • Red: < 0.4 m

Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line shifts dynamically depending on the position and distance of the obstacles detected.

Depending on the distance to the obstacle detected, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You can set the timing of the warnings in the multimedia system. In the Warn early setting, the system warns you from a distance of 1 m, in the standard setting only from 0.4 m.

If you are not in the Camera & parking menu and an obstacle in the vehicle path is detected, under the following conditions pop-up window appears in the driver display:

  • Vehicles without Active Parking Assist: when driving no faster than 12 km/h.

  • Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: when driving no faster than 18 km/h.

Optionally, obstacles detected by Parking Assist PARKTRONIC from a distance of approximately 1.0 m in front and 0.7 m on sides can also be displayed in the head-up display.

System limits
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily take into account the following obstacles:

  • 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.

  • Pedestrians or animals approaching the vehicle from the side.

  • Objects placed next to the vehicle.

Obstacles on the sides are not shown in the following situations, for example:

  • You park the vehicle and switch off the ignition.

  • You open the doors.

After the engine is restarted, obstacles must be detected again by driving past them before a new warning can be issued.

Also observe the system limits of the 360° Camera More.

Observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras; the system otherwise cannot function properly More.

Problems with Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

If the Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display lights up red for approximately three seconds and then goes out, and the symbol appears in the driver display, Parking Assist PARKTRONIC may have been deactivated due to signal interference. Start the vehicle again and check if Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is working at a different location.

If a warning tone also sounds, it may be due to one of the following causes:

  • The sensors are dirty: clean the sensors and observe the notes on care of vehicle parts More.

  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC has been deactivated due to a malfunction: restart the vehicle. If the problem persists, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
