Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system with ultrasound. It monitors
the area around your vehicle using six sensors in
the front bumper and six sensors in the rear
bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC indicates vis-
ually and audibly the distance between your vehi-
cle and an object.
For vehicles with rear attachments or selected
open vehicle model designations, there is special
equipment without rear sensors. Here, the six sen-
sors in the rear bumper are omitted. For the rear
area and the side area, no distances to an obstacle
are displayed and no optical warnings or warning
tones are given.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not
a substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
You are always responsible for safe maneuvering,
parking and exiting a parking space. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects etc.
