Regardless of the transmission position,
PARKTRONIC automatically monitors the area
behind the vehicle if the vehicle begins to roll
backwards, e.g. after stopping on an uphill gradi‐
ent.
PARKTRONIC is deactivated at speeds above
18 km/h. PARKTRONIC is reactivated at speeds
below 16 km/h.
Vehicles with trailer hitch: PARKTRONIC is
deactivated for the rear area when you establish
an electrical connection to the trailer or to a rear
bicycle rack.
After uncoupling the trailer, unplug the 7-pin plug
adapter from the socket. Otherwise,
PARKTRONIC remains deactivated for the rear
area.
Remove a detachable trailer coupling if it is no
longer required. PARKTRONIC measures the mini‐
mum detection range to an obstacle from the
bumper, not the ball neck.

Warning segments for the right side of the
vehicle
At least one segment will light up as the vehicle
approaches an obstacle, depending on the vehi‐
cle's distance from the obstacle.
In addition, warning tones are emitted. When the
distance to the obstacle is sufficient, you will
hear an intermittent warning tone. The shorter
the distance to the obstacle, the shorter the fre‐
quency of the intermittent warning tones
becomes. When the minimum distance is
reached, you hear a continuous warning tone.
The warning display for each side of the vehicle is
divided into five yellow and two red segments.
