When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is operational
and no object is detected, no segments are
shown in the warning display.

If the entire system fails, the internal seg‐
ments of the warning display are shown in
red and the é symbol appears in the mul‐
tifunction display in the instrument cluster.
If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated,
the warning display fades out.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
1.0 ft (0.3 m) to an obstacle in front and approx‐
imately 3.3 ft (1.0 m) to an obstacle behind. A
continuous warning tone sounds from a distance
of approximately 0.7 ft (0.2 m). Using the Warn
early setting, you can set the warning tone in
the multimedia system so that it will sound ear‐
lier at a greater distance of approximately 3.3 ft
(1.0 m) (
page 158).

The Warn early setting is always active at
the rear of the vehicle.
System limits
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessa‐
rily take into account the following obstacles:
Obstacles below the detection range, e.g.
R
persons, animals or objects.
Obstacles above the detection range, e.g.
R
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of trucks.
As a result of additional accessories (e.g. license
plate bracket or bicycle rack) the actual distance
to an obstacle may not correspond to the dis‐
tance measured by Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
under certain conditions.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function correctly.
Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them.
