Roll-back warning
PARKTRONIC automatically monitors the
area behind the vehicle if the vehicle begins
to roll backwards without reverse gear
engaged, e.g. after stopping on an uphill
gradient.
If PARKTRONIC recognizes an obstacle at a
distance of at most 31 in (80 cm), all the
segments in the warning display light up. A
continuous warning tone also sounds as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle and for a
further two seconds after the vehicle has
come to a halt.
Activating/deactivating PARKTRONIC
You can activate/deactivate PARKTRONIC
manually.

Press button :.
If PARKTRONIC is deactivated, the
indicator lamp in the switch lights up.
Towing a trailer
If your vehicle is equipped with the electric
wiring required for towing a trailer and you
attach a trailer, PARKTRONIC is deactivated
for the rear area as soon as you have
established an electrical connection between
your vehicle and the trailer. If you use an
adapter for the socket, remove it from the
socket after detaching the trailer. Otherwise,
PARKTRONIC remains deactivated for the
rear area.
If the trailer coupling is detachable, remove it
when it is no longer required. PARKTRONIC
measures the minimum detection range to an
obstacle from the bumper, not the ball
coupling.

Warning
The rear-view camera is only a driving aid and
may display obstacles as foreshortened,
incorrectly or not at all. It cannot replace your
attentiveness.
The rear-view camera cannot display all
objects located very near and/or under the
rear bumper. It does not warn you of a
collision, persons or objects.
You are responsible for safety at all times and
must continue to pay attention to your
immediate surroundings during parking and
maneuvering. This applies not only to the area
behind, but also to the area in front of and
beside your vehicle.
You may otherwise not recognize people or
objects, if any, and by driving onwards, injure
people or damage objects and the vehicle. We
recommend also using PARKTRONIC at all
times during parking.
