Parktronic system (Parking assist)
The Parktronic system is an electronic park-
ing aid with ultrasonic sensors designed to
assist the driver during parking maneuvers. It
visually and audibly indicates the relative dis-
tance between the vehicle and an obstacle.
The Parktronic system is automatically acti-
vated when you switch on the ignition, release
the parking brake, and the automatic trans-
mission is in drive position
D, reverse gear
R, or neutral position N.
The Parktronic system deactivates at speeds
over approximately 11 mph (18 km/h). At
lower speeds the Parktronic system turns on
again.
The Parktronic system also deactivates when
you shift the automatic transmission into
park position
P or engage the parking brake.
The Parktronic system monitors the sur-
roundings of your vehicle with six sensors in
the front bumper and four sensors in the rear
bumper.
1 Sensors in the front bumper
To function properly, the sensors must be free
of dirt, ice, snow and slush. Clean the sensors
regularly, being careful not to scratch or dam-
age the sensors, see “Cleaning the Parktronic
system sensors” (
Y page 247).
G Warning!
The 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 remains with the driver.
G Warning!
Make sure no persons or animals are in the
area in which you are maneuvering. You
could otherwise injure them.
