is not visible from the outside. Components
that have been damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or no longer be able to assimilate
the loads occurring in the event of an acci-
dent. If the underbody paneling is damaged,
flammable material, such as leaves, grass or
twigs, could collect between the underbody
and underbody paneling. These materials
could ignite if they remain in contact with hot
components of the exhaust system for an
extended period. Have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If you become aware when
continuing the journey that driving safety has
been effected, stop as soon as possible in
accordance with the traffic conditions. In
such cases, consult a qualified specialist
workshop. Adapt your driving style to the off-
road driving conditions. Drive carefully. Have
any vehicle damage rectified at a qualified
specialist workshop as soon as possible. Declaration of conformity

Problems with PARKTRONIC
Problem Possible causes/consequences and
0050
0050Solutions Only the red segments
in the PARKTRONIC
warning displays are lit.
A warning tone also
sounds for approx-
imately 2 seconds.
PARKTRONIC is deacti-
vated after approx-
imately 20 seconds.
The indicator lamp of
the
0069 button lights
up and the red seg-
ments in the
PARKTRONIC warning
display go out. PARKTRONIC has malfunctioned and has switched itself off.
X
If problems persist, have PARKTRONIC checked at a qualified
specialist workshop. The PARKTRONIC
warning displays
implausible distances.
For example, all the
segments may be lit
even though there is no
obstacle present. The PARKTRONIC sensors are dirty or iced up.
X
Clean the PARKTRONIC sensors (Y page 270).
X Turn the key to position 2again in the ignition lock. The license plate or other parts attached near the sensors may
not be secured correctly.

for correct seating. An external radio or ultrasonic source may be causing interfer-
ence.
X
Check PARKTRONIC functions in a different location. Rear view camera
Important safety notes !
Objects that are not at ground level
appear further away than they actually are,
for example:
R the bumper of the vehicle parked behind
R the drawbar of a trailer
R the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R the tail-end of a truck
R slanted posts Only use the camera guide lines for orien-
tation. Do not get any closer to objects than
the lowest horizontal guide line. You may
otherwise damage your vehicle and/or the
object.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immedi-
ate surroundings. You are responsible for
safe maneuvering and parking. When maneu-
vering and parking, make sure that there are
no persons, animals or objects in the maneu-
vering area. Driving systems
