PARKTRONIC

Important safety notes

PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking aid with

ultrasonic sensors. It monitors the area

around your vehicle using six sensors in the

front bumper and four sensors in the rear

bumper. PARKTRONIC indicates visually and

audibly the distance between your vehicle

and an object.

PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substi-

tute for your attention to the immediate sur-

roundings. The responsibility for safe

manoeuvring and parking remains with you.

Make sure that there are no persons, animals

or objects in range while manoeuvring and

parking.

When parking, pay particular attention to

objects above or below the sensors, such

as flower pots or trailer drawbars. PARK-

TRONIC does not detect such objects when

they are in the immediate vicinity of the

vehicle. You could damage the vehicle or

the objects.

The sensors may not detect snow and

objects which absorb ultrasonic sources.

Ultrasonic sources, such as an automatic

car wash, a lorry's compressed-air brakes

or a pneumatic drill, could cause PARK-

TRONIC to malfunction.

PARKTRONIC may not function correctly on

uneven terrain.

PARKTRONIC is activated automatically if

you:

switch on the ignition

shift to position D, R or N on vehicles with

automatic transmission

release the parking brake

PARKTRONIC is deactivated at speeds above

18 km/h. It is reactivated at lower speeds.

Example: sensors in the front bumper,

left-hand side

Range of the sensors

General notes

PARKTRONIC does not take into account

obstacles located:

below the detection range, e.g. persons,

animals or objects

above the detection range, e.g. overhang-

ing loads, tail sections or loading ramps of

goods vehicles

The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and

slush. Otherwise, they may not function cor-

rectly. Clean the sensors regularly, taking

care not to scratch or damage them

(Y page 322).
