Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic

monitors the area around your vehicle using six

in the rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
shows you the distance between your vehicle
and a detected obstacle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the sur‐
roundings. The responsibility for safe manoeu‐
vring and parking remains with you. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects in
Driving and parking 207
the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and
parking in/exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
0.3 m to an obstacle in front and approximately
1.0 m to an obstacle behind. A continuous tone
sounds from a distance of approximately 0.2 m.
Using the Warn early setting in the multimedia
system, the warning tones for front and side
impact protection can also be set to sound at a
greater distance of approximately 1.0 m
( page 210).
