Towing a trailer

Fold in the ball coupling if the trailer tow

hitch is not required. PARKTRONIC meas-

ures the minimum detection range to an

obstacle from the bumper, not the ball cou-

pling.

PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear area

when you establish an electrical connection

between your vehicle and a trailer.
