Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system with ultrasound. It monitors
the area around your vehicle using six sensors on
the front bumper and six sensors on the rear
bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC indicates vis-
ually and audibly the distance between your vehi-
cle and an object.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not
a substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and park-
ing 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
1.3 (0.4 m) to an obstacle. A continuous tone
sounds from a distance of approximately 1.0
(0.3 m). You can set the warning tone in the multi-
media system so that it will sound earlier at a
greater distance of approximately 3.3 (1 m)
(
