Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance system with ultrasound. It monitors the area around your vehicle using six sensors 1 in the front bumper and six sensors in the rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC shows you the distance between your vehicle and a detected obstacle visually and audibly. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe maneuvering and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the maneuvering area while maneuvering and parking in/exiting parking spaces. In the standard setting, an intermittent warning tone sounds from a distance of approximately 1.0 ft (0.3 m) to an obstacle in front and approximately 3.3 ft (1.0 m) to an obstacle behind. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approximately 0.7 ft (0.2 m). Using the Warn early setting in the multimedia system, the warning tones for front and side impact protection can also be set to sound at a greater distance of approximately 3.3 ft (1.0 m). The Warn early setting is always active in the rear of the vehicle. If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Active Parking Assist is unavailable. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display in the multimedia system Vehicles with Active Parking Assist without a 360º Camera Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and a 360º Camera If Active Parking Assist is deactivated and an obstacle is detected in the path of the vehicle, a pop-up window for Parking Assist PARKTRONIC 1 appears in the multimedia system at speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h). System limitations Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily take into account the following obstacles:
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush. Otherwise, they may not function correctly. Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to scratch or damage them. Function of the passive side impact protection Passive side impact protection is an additional Parking Assist PARKTRONIC function which warns the driver about obstacles at the side of the vehicle. A warning is issued when obstacles are detected between the front and rear detection range. In order for an object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear bumper must first detect the object while you are driving past it. During the parking procedure or maneuvering, objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The segments on the sides light up yellow or red, depending on the distance to the obstacle. Segment color depending on distance
In order for lateral front or rear segments to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance of at least half of the vehicle length. Once the vehicle has traveled the length of the vehicle, all of the lateral front and rear segments can be displayed. Vehicles without 360º Camera
Vehicles with 360º Camera
Saved obstacles on the sides are deleted in the following situations, for example:
After the engine is restarted, obstacles must be detected again before a new warning can be issued. System limitations The system limitations for Parking Assist PARKTRONIC apply for passive side impact protection. The following objects are not detected, for example:
Deactivating/activating Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
If indicator lamp 1 is not lit, Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is active. If the indicator lamp is lit or the symbol appears in the multifunction display, Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is not active.
