Parktronic is a supplemental system. It is
not intended to, nor does it replace, the
need for extreme care. The responsibility
during parking and other critical maneuvers
always rests with the driver.
The Parktronic system is an electronic aid
designed to assist the driver during park-

vehicle and an obstacle.

with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, or road

and placed the gear selector lever in posi-
tion D, R, or N.
