Driving systems
Front sensors
Rear sensors Minimum distance
If the system detects an obstacle in this
range, all the distance warning segments
illuminate and you hear a warning signal. If
the obstacle is closer than the minimum
distance, the actual distance may no long-
er be indicated by the system.
Warning indicators
Visual signals indicate to the driver the rel-
ative distance between the sensors and an
obstacle. The warning indicators for the
front area are located above the left air
vents and center air vents in the dash-
board. The warning indicator for the rear
area is integrated in the rear trim.
Center approx. 40 in (100 cm)
Corners approx. 24 in (60 cm)
Center approx. 48 in (120 cm)
Corners approx. 32 in (80 cm)
!
During parking maneuvers, pay special
attention to objects located above or
below the height of the sensors (e.g.
street curbs, painted posts, or trailer
hitches etc.). The Parktronic system
will not detect such objects at close
range and damage to your vehicle or
the object may result.
Ultrasonic signals from outside sourc-
es (e.g. truck air brakes, car wash, or
jackhammers) may impair the opera-
tion of the Parktronic system.
Center approx. 8 in (20 cm)
Corners approx. 6 in (15 cm)
