Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

qFunction of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system which monitors the area
surrounding your vehicle and shows you the dis- tance between the vehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround- ings. Responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals, objects, etc. in the maneuvering area while maneuvering and parking
in/exiting parking spaces.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the side. During the parking proce-
dure or maneuvering, objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction ofa detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateralcollision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear bumper must "Nrst detect the
object while you are driving past it.
In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to be displayed, the vehicle must "Nrst travel a dis-
tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has traveled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.Driving and parking287

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is ready
for display, the respective areas of the display are
shown in blue.1Front and rear ready for display2All sides ready for display3Obstacles detected at the front le"s and on
the right-hand side
The color of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 3.3 "s (1 m) (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approximately 3.3 "s (1 m) - 2.3 "s
(0.7 m)
= Orange: approximately 2.3 "s (0.7 m) - 1.2 "s
(0.4 m)
= Red: <1.2 &#34;s (0.4 m)
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line
shi&#34;ss dynamically depending on the position and
distance of the obstacles detected.
Depending on the distance to the obstacle detec-
ted, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You
can set the timing of the warnings in the multime-
dia system(  page 290)
Standard setting:
= Front and sides: < 1.2 &#34;s (0.4 m)
= Rear: < 3.3 &#34;s (1 m)
Warn Early All Around :
= Front: < 3.3 &#34;s (1 m)
= Sides: < 2.3 &#34;s (0.7 m)
= Rear: < 3.3 &#34;s (1 m)
A continuous warning tone sounds from a dis-
tance of approximately 0.7 &#34;s (0.2 m), regardless
of the selected setting.
