Parking Assist (Parktronic)
Warning!
The Parktronic assists the driver
during parking maneuvers. It visually
and audibly indicates the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle.
The responsibility during parking and
other critical maneuvers rests always
with the driver.
The operational function of the
Parktronic can be affected by dirty
sensors, especially at times of snow
and ice.
The front area of the vehicle is
monitored when driving forward.
When reversing, the front as well as
the rear areas are monitored.
Interference caused by other
ultrasonic signals (e.g. working
jackhammers or the air brakes of
trucks) should be taken into
consideration.
With the key in steering lock position
2,
the Parktronic engages automatically
at speeds up to approx. 10 mph (15
km/h) and deactivates during higher
speeds.

Sensors
For proper operation of the Parktronic
always keep the sensors clean.
The Parktronic can be switched off by
a control switch located in the center
console.
A total of 10 sensors monitor the
vehicle front and rear areas. Six sensors
are located in the front bumper, four
sensor in the rear bumper.
Use a mild car wash detergent, such
as Mercedes-Benz approved Car
Shampoo, with plenty of water.
When using a steam cleaner or power
washer, aim nozzle only briefly from a
minimum distance of 4 in. (10 cm) at
sensors.
To prevent scratches, never apply
strong force or use a hard cloth when
cleaning the sensors. Do not attempt to
wipe dirty sensors with a dry cloth or
sponge.
