Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic par k-

cle visual lyand audib ly.
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur round-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
The passive side impact pr otection also warnsyou
of obstacles tothe side. During the parking proce-
dure or manoeuvring, objects are de tected as the
ve hicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of
a de tected obs tacle and there is a risk of a lateral
collision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side tobe de tected, the sensors in
th e front and rear bumper must /r stdetect the
object while you are driving past it. Driving and parking

In order
for front or rear obs tacles tothe side to
be displa yed, theve hicle must /r sttrave l a dis-
ta nce of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
ve hicle has tr avelled one vehicle length, obs tacles
on all sides can be shown.

Pa ssive side impact pr otection is an additional
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC function which warns
th e driver about obstacles at the side of theve hi-
cle. A warning is issued when obstacles are
de tected between the front and rear de tection
ra nge. In order for an object on the side tobe
de tected, the sensors in the front and rear
bumper must /rst de tect the object while you are
driving past it.
During the parking procedure or manoeuvring,
objects are de tected as theve hicle drives past. If yo
u steer in the direction of a de tected obs tacle
and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning
is issued and the segments light up in colour in
