R
mounted racks
number plates (vehicle license plates)
R
that are not affixed flat against the
bumper
dirty or icy sensors
R
Remove a detachable trailer coupling if it is no
longer required. PARKTRONIC measures the
minimum detection range to an obstacle from
the bumper, not the ball coupling.
Range of the sensors
PARKTRONIC does not account for obstacles
that are:
beneath its detection range, e.g. persons,
R
animals or objects
above its detection range, e.g. overhanging
R
loads, overhangs or truck loading ramps
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice or slush.
Otherwise, they cannot function correctly.
Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them (

If an obstacle is within this range, all seg-

hear a warning tone. If the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle falls below the
minimum range, it is possible that the dis-
tance may no longer be displayed.
