Range of the sensors
To function properly, the sensors must be
free of dirt, ice snow and slush. Clean the
sensors regularly, being careful not to
scratch or damage the sensors.
Front sensors
Center
approx. 39 in (100 cm)
Corners
approx. 48 in (120 cm)

!
During parking maneuvers, pay special
attention to objects located above or
below the height of the sensors (e.g.
planters or trailer hitches). The Park-
tronic system will not detect such ob-
jects at close range and damage to
your vehicle or the object may result.
Ultrasonic signals from outside sourc-
es (e.g. truck air brakes or jackham-
mers) may impair the operation of the
Parktronic system.
Minimum distance
Center
approx. 8 in (20 cm)
Corners
approx. 6 in (15 cm)
If you encounter an obstacle in this range,
all the warning lamps come on and you
hear a warning signal. If the obstacle is
closer than the minimum distance, the ac-
tual distance may no longer be indicated
by the system.
