When parking, pay particular attention to
objects above or below the sensors, such
as flower pots or trailer towbars. Parktronic
does not detect such objects when they are
in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle. You
could damage the vehicle or the objects.
Driving systems
Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic
car wash, a lorry's compressed-air brakes
or a pneumatic drill could cause Parktronic
to malfunction.
Minimum distance

If there is an obstacle within this range, all
warning displays light up and a tone sounds.

ance, it may no longer be shown.

ted on the roof lining in the rear compart-
ment.
