Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic
parking assistance system with ultrasound. It
monitors the area around your vehicle using mul‐
tiple sensors 1 on the front bumper and on the
rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC shows
you the distance between your vehicle and a
detected obstacle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the sur‐
roundings. The responsibility for safe maneuver‐
ing and parking 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
1.0 ft (0.3 m) to an obstacle in front and approx‐
imately 3.3 ft (1.0 m) to an obstacle behind. A
continuous warning tone sounds from a distance
of approximately 0.7 ft (0.2 m). Using the Warn
Early setting in the multimedia system, the warn‐
ing tones for front and side impact protection
can be set to sound at a greater distance of
approximately 3.3 ft (1.0 m) in front and 2.0 ft
(0.6 m) on the sides (/ page 185).

The Warn Early setting is always active in the
rear of the vehicle.
