Warning!

Make sure no persons or animals are in or
near the area in which you are parking/
maneuvering. Otherwise, they could be
injured.

!

Special attention must be paid to objects

with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts,
elevated crossbars or road curbs). Such
objects may not be detected by the system
and can damage the vehicle.
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 sources

(e.g. truck air brakes, car wash, or
jackhammers) may impair the operation of
the Parktronic system.

Range of the sensors

Front sensors

Center

approx. 40 in (100 cm)

Corners

approx. 24 in (60 cm)

Rear sensors

Center

approx. 48 in (120 cm)

Corners

approx. 32 in (80 cm)

Minimum distance

Center

approx. 8 in (20 cm)

Corners

If the Parktronic 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 longer be indicated by the Parktronic
system.

Warning indicators

Visual signals indicate the relative distance
between the sensors and an obstacle.
