Warning indicators
Visual signals indicate to the driver the
relative distance between the sensors and
an obstacle. The warning indicator for the
front area is located above the center air
vents in the dashboard. The warning indi-
cator for the rear area is located in the rear
overhead control panel.

3 Readiness indicators
Each warning indicator is divided into five
yellow and two red distance segments for
either side of the vehicle. The Parktronic
system is ready when the yellow readiness
indicators
3 are illuminated.
The current transmission position deter-
mines which warning indicator will be
activated.
As your vehicle approaches an object, one
or more distance segments will illuminate,
depending on the distance. When the
seventh distance segment illuminates, you
have reached the minimum distance.

warning lasting a maximum of
2 seconds will sound as the first red
distance segment illuminates and a

signal is canceled when the automatic
transmission is set to position P or the
parking brake is set.
ț Rear area: An intermittent acoustic
warning lasting a maximum of
2 seconds will sound as the first red
distance segment illuminates and a
constant acoustic warning lasting a
maximum of 2 seconds will sound for
