Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic
parking assistance system with ultrasound. It
monitors the area around your vehicle using six
sensors 1 in the front bumper and six sensors
in the rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
indicates visually and audibly the distance
between your vehicle and an object.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the sur‐
roundings. The responsibility for safe maneuver‐
ing and parking remains with you. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects in
the maneuvering area while maneuvering and
parking in/exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
1.0 ft (0.3 m) to an obstacle. A continuous tone
sounds from a distance of approximately 0.7 ft
(0.2 m). You can set the warning tone in the mul‐
timedia system so that it will sound earlier at a
greater distance of approximately 3.3 ft (1.0 m)
(

If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated,
