between the sensor and the obstacle.
The warning display is divided into five yellow
and two red segments for each side of the
vehicle. PARKTRONIC is operational if yellow
indicator segments = and A are lit.
There is a malfunction if only the red seg-
ments of the warning display light up
( page 171).

One or more segments light up as the vehicle
approaches an obstacle, depending on the
vehicle's distance from the obstacle.
From the:
sixth segment, an intermittent warning
R
tone sounds for approximately 2 seconds.
seventh segment, a continuous warning
R
tone sounds. This indicates that you have
now reached the minimum distance.
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 seg-
ments in the warning displays light up. A con-
tinuous warning tone also sounds as the vehi-
cle approaches the obstacle and for a further
2 seconds after the vehicle has come to a
halt.
