Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic par k-
ing assistance system which monitors the area
sur rounding your vehicle and sho wsyouth e dis-
ta nce between theve hicle and a de tected obs ta-
cle visual lyand audib ly.
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur round-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
The passive side impact pr otection also warnsyou
of obstacles tothe side. During the parking proce-
dure or manoeuvring, objects are de tected as the
ve hicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of
a de tected obs tacle and there is a risk of a lateral
collision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side tobe de tected, the sensors in
th e front and rear bumper must /r stdetect the
object while you are driving past it. 228 228

In order
for front or rear obs tacles tothe side to
be displa yed, theve hicle must /r sttrave l a dis-
ta nce of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
ve hicle has tr avelled one vehicle length, obs tacles
on all sides can be shown.

at the front of the trailer or dr awbar ins talla-
tions. #
Pay attention toove rhanging loads or
dr aw bar ins tallations while manoeuvring. Tr
ailer Manoeuv ring Assist assists you when
re ve rsing with a trailer. Using there ve rsing cam-
era, it monitors the articulation angle between the

are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu- vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
