Warning!

G

Parktronic is a supplemental system. It is

not intended to, nor does it replace, the

need for extreme care. The responsibility

during parking and other critical maneuvers

always rests with the driver.

Special attention must be paid to objects

with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes

(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, or road

curbs). Such objects may not be detected by

the system and can damage the vehicle.

The operational function of the Parktronic

system can be affected by dirty sensors,

especially at times of snow and ice. See

“Cleaning the Parktronic system sensors”

(

page 408).

Interference caused by other ultrasonic

signals (e.g. working jackhammers, car

wash, or the air brakes of trucks) can cause

the system to send erratic indications, and

should be taken into consideration.

Warning!

G

Make sure no persons or animals are in the

area in which you are maneuvering. You

could otherwise injure them.
