Parking assist (Parktronic)
(optional)
Warning!
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 rests always with the driver.
The Parktronic system assists the driver during parking
maneuvers. It visually and audibly indicates the
distance between the vehicle and an obstacle.
The front area of the vehicle is monitored when driving
forward. When reversing, the front as well as the rear
areas are monitored.
Special attention must be paid to objects having
smooth surfaces or low silhouettes (e.g. trailer
couplings, painted posts, or street curbs). Such
objects may not be detected by the system and can
damage the vehicle.
With the electronic key in steering lock position 2,
Parktronic engages automatically at speeds up to
approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) and deactivates
during higher speeds.
The operational function of the Parktronic can be
affected by dirty sensors, especially at times of
snow and ice. See page 307 for notes on cleaning
the parktronic system sensors.
Parktronic can be switched off by a control switch
located in the center console. It engages automatically
again when starting the engine.
Interference caused by other ultrasonic signals
(e.g. working jackhammers or the air brakes of
trucks) can cause the system to send erratic
indications, and should be taken into
consideration.
See page 228 for parktronic switch.
