Pa ssive side impact pr otection is an additional
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC function which

th eve hicle. A warning is issued when obs tacles
are de tected between the front and rear de tec‐
tion range. In order for an object on the side to
be de tected, the sensors in the front and rear
bumper must firs t de tect the object while you
are driving past it.
During the parking procedure or manoeuvring,
objects are de tected as theve hicle drives past.
If yo usteer in the direction of a de tected obs ta‐cle and
there is a risk of a lateral collision, a
wa rning is issued and the segments light up in
colour in the displa y.
The segment colour changes depending on the
dis tance tothe de tected obs tacle:
R Yello w: appr oximately 30 - 60 cm
R Red:less than appr oximately 30 cm
In order for lateral front or rear segments tobe
displa yed, theve hicle must firs t tr ave l a dis tance
of at least half of theve hicle length. Once the
ve hicle has tr avelled the length of theve hicle, all
