Rear Parking Assist

Warning!
Rear Parking Assist (rear Parktronic) is a
supplemental system. It is not intended to,
nor does it replace, the need for extreme
care. The responsibility during parking and
other critical maneuvers always remains
with the driver.
Special attention must be paid to objects
with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, or roa d
curbs). Such objects may not be detected by
the system and can damage the vehicle.

The operational function of the Rear Parking
Assist can be affected by dirty sensors,
especially at times of snow and ice. See
G
"Cleaning the Rear Parking Assist sensors"
( page 318).
Interference caused by other ultrasonic
signals (e.g. working jackhammers, car
wash, or the air brakes of trucks) can cause
the system to send erratic indications, and
should be taken into consideration.
Warning!
Make sure no persons or animals are in the
area in which you are maneuvering. You
could otherwise injure them.
The Rear Parking Assist system is an
electronic aid designed to assist the driver
during parking maneuvers. It visually and
audibly indicates the relative distance
between the rear of the vehicle and an
obstacle.
The Rear Parking Assist system is
automatically activated when you
switch on the ignition
and
move the gear selector lever to reverse
