Warning!

Make sure no persons or animals are in or

near the area in which you are parking/

maneuvering. Otherwise, they could be

injured.

PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking aid with

ultrasonic sensors. It indicates visually and

audibly the distance between your vehicle

and an object.

PARKTRONIC is activated automatically when

you:

R

switch on the ignition.

R

shift the transmission to position D, R or

N.

R

release the electric parking brake.

PARKTRONIC is deactivated at speeds above

11 mph (18 km/h). It is reactivated at lower

speeds.

PARKTRONIC monitors the area around your

vehicle using six sensors in the front bumper

and four sensors in the rear bumper.

car wash, a truck's compressed-air brakes

or a pneumatic drill could cause

PARKTRONIC to malfunction.
