PARKTRONIC

Important safety notes

PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking aid with

ultrasonic sensors. It indicates visually and

audibly the distance between your vehicle

and an object.
PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a replace-

ment for your attention to your immediate

surroundings. You are always responsible for

safe maneuvering, parking and exiting a park-

ing space. When maneuvering, parking or

pulling out of a parking space, make sure that

there are no persons, animals or objects in

the area in which you are maneuvering.

When parking, pay particular attention to

objects above or below the sensors, such

as flower pots or trailer drawbars. PARK-

TRONIC does not detect such objects when

they are in the immediate vicinity of the

vehicle. You could damage the vehicle or

the objects.
The sensors may not detect snow and other

objects that absorb ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic

car wash, the compressed-air brakes on a

truck or a pneumatic drill could cause

PARKTRONIC to malfunction.
PARKTRONIC may not function correctly on

uneven terrain.

PARKTRONIC is activated automatically when

you:

switch on the ignition

shift the transmission to position D, R or N

release the electric parking brake.

PARKTRONIC is deactivated at speeds above

11 mph (18 km/h). It is reactivated at lower

speeds.
PARKTRONIC monitors the area around your

vehicle using six sensors in the front bumper

and four sensors in the rear bumper.

Range of the sensors

General notes
PARKTRONIC does not take objects into con-

sideration that are:

below the detection range, e.g. people, ani-

mals or objects.

above the detection range, e.g. overhang-

ing loads, truck overhangs or loading

ramps.
