PARKTRONIC
▌ Function of PARKTRONIC
PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance
system with ultrasonic sensors. The system moni-

the front bumper and on the rear bumper.
PARKTRONIC indicates visually and audibly the dis-
tance between your vehicle and an object.
The warning ranges in front of and behind the vehi-
cle are indicated by different warning tones.
PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for you paying attention to the surroundings. You
are always responsible for safe manoeuvring, park-
ing and exiting a parking space. Make sure that
there are no persons, animals or objects etc. in
the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and park-
ing or exiting parking spaces.
Requirements for automatic activation:
R
The vehicle is switched on.
R
The parking brake has been released.
The selected transmission position determines
whether the front and/or rear area is monitored.
