Parktronic is an electronic parking aid with
ultrasonic sensors and assists you when
parking by:
앫
giving you a display of the distance be-
tween your vehicle and an obstacle
앫
giving you an audible warning when you
approach an obstacle
Parktronic is activated automatically when
you switch on the ignition, release the
electric parking brake or start the engine
and shift the automatic transmission to D ,
R or N .
Parktronic switches off at speeds exceed-
ing 18 km/h. Parktronic is reactivated at
lower speeds. Parktronic is deactivated

vehicle using six sensors in the front bump-
er and four sensors in the rear bumper.
