The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if the HOLD function is activa-
ted and:
R the driver's seat belt is not fastened and the
driver's door is open.
R the engine is switched off, unless it is auto-
matically switched off by the ECO start/
stop function.
R a system malfunction occurs.
R the power supply is not sufficient.
The Brake Immediately Brake Immediately message may also
appear in the multifunction display.
X Immediately depress the brake firmly until
the warning message in the multifunction
display goes out.
The HOLD function is deactivated. The horn
sounds at regular intervals if you have
switched off the engine, released the seat
belt and opened the driver's door with the
HOLD function activated. The sounding of the horn alerts you to the fact that the HOLD
function is still activated. If you attempt to
lock the vehicle, the tone becomes louder.
The vehicle cannot be locked until you have
deactivated the HOLD function.
i After switching off the engine, it can only
be started again once you have deactivated the HOLD function. PARKTRONIC
Important safety notes PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking aid with
ultrasonic sensors. It monitors the area
around your vehicle using six sensors in the
front bumper and six sensors in the rear
bumper. PARKTRONIC indicates visually and
audibly the distance between your vehicle
and an object.
PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a replace-
ment for your attention to your immediate
surroundings. You are always responsible for
safe maneuvering, parking and exiting a park-
ing space. When maneuvering, parking or pulling out of a parking space, make sure that
there are no persons, animals or objects in
the area in which you are maneuvering.
! When parking, pay particular attention to
objects above or below the sensors, such
as flower pots or trailer drawbars.
PARKTRONIC does not detect such objects
when they are in the immediate vicinity of
the vehicle. You could damage the vehicle
or the objects.
The sensors may not detect snow and other
objects that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic
car wash, the compressed-air brakes on a
truck or a pneumatic drill could cause
PARKTRONIC to malfunction.
PARKTRONIC may not function correctly on uneven terrain.
PARKTRONIC is activated automatically when you:
R switch on the ignition
R shift the transmission to position D,Ror N
R shift the transmission to position D,Ror N
R release the electric parking brake
Range of the sensors General notes
PARKTRONIC does not take objects into con-
sideration that are:
R below the detection range, e.g. people, ani-
mals or objects.
R above the detection range, e.g. overhang-
ing loads, truck overhangs or loading
ramps. Driving systems
