Range Of The Sensors - Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Operator's Manual

Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car
wash, the compressed-air brakes on a truck
or a pneumatic drill could cause PARKTRONIC
to malfunction.
PARKTRONIC may not function correctly on
uneven terrain.
PARKTRONIC is activated automatically when
you:
switch on the ignition
R
shift the transmission to position D, R or N
R
PARKTRONIC is deactivated at speeds above
11 mph (18 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.

Range of the sensors

PARKTRONIC does not take objects into con-
sideration that are:
below the detection range, e.g. people, ani-
R
mals or objects.
above the detection range, e.g. overhanging
R
loads, truck overhangs or loading ramps.
