Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic
parking assi stance sy stem which monitors the
area sur rounding your vehicle and sho wsyouthe
dis tance between theve hicle and a de tected
obs tacle visually and audibly.
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is on lyan aid. It is
not a substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur‐
ro undings. The responsibility for safe manoeu‐
vring and parking remains with you. Make sure
th at there are no persons, animals or objects in
th e manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and
parking in/exiting parking spaces.
The passive side impact pr otection also warns
yo u of obs tacles tothe side. During the parking
procedure or manoeuvring, objects are de tected
as theve hicle drives past. If yousteer in the
direction of a de tected obs tacle and there is a
ri sk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. In order
for an object on the side tobe de tected,
th e sensors in the front and rear bumper must
fi rs t de tect the object while you are driving past
it.
In order for front or rear obs tacles tothe side to
be displa yed, theve hicle must firs t tr ave l a dis‐
ta nce of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
ve hicle has tr avelled one vehicle length, obs ta‐
cles on all sides can be shown.
