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.
The passive side impact pr otection also warnsyou
of obstacles tothe side. These must be de tected
beforehand bythe sensors in the front or rear
bumper while driving bythem. If you steer in the
direction of a de tected obstacle and there is a risk
of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The pas- Driving and parking

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.
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
