monitors the area around your vehicle using mul‐
tiple sensors 1onthe front bumper and on the

yo uth e dis tance between your vehicle and a
de tected obs tacle visually and audibly.
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is on lyan aid. It is

ro undings. The responsibility for safe manoeu‐
vring and parking remains with you. Make sure
th at there are no persons, animals or objects in th

parking in/exiting parking spaces.
In thest andard setting, an intermit tent wa rning
to ne sounds from a di stance of appr oximately
0.3 m toan obs tacle in front and appr oximately
1. 0 m toan obs tacle behind. A continuous warn‐

imately 0.2 m. Using theWarn early all-round
setting in the multimedia sy stem, thewa rning
to nes for front and side impact pr otection can
be set tosound at a greater dis tance of appr ox‐
imately 1.0 m in front and 0.6 m on the sides
(/ page 250).

Pa ssive side impact pr otection is an additional
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC function which
wa rnsth e driver about obs tacles at the side of
th eve hicle. A warning is issued when obs tacles
are de tected between the front and rear de tec‐

be de tected, the sensors in the front and rear
bumper must firs t 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 usteer in the direction of a de tected obs ta‐
