Controls in detail
Driving systems
The Parktronic system is an electronic aid
designed to assist the driver during park-
ing maneuvers. It visually and audibly in-
dicates the relative distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle.
The Parktronic system is automatically
activated when you switch on the igni-
tion, release the parking brake, and
placed the gear selector lever in position
D, R, or N. The Parktronic system deacti-
vates at speeds over approximately
11 mph (18 km/h). At lower speeds the
Parktronic system turns on again. The
Parktronic system also deactivates when
you place the gear selector lever in posi-
tion P or depress the parking brake ped-
al.
The Parktronic system monitors the sur-
roundings of your vehicle with six sensors
in the front bumper and four sensors in
the rear bumper.
1 Sensors in the front bumper
Range of the sensors
To function properly, the sensors must be
free of dirt, ice, snow and slush. Clean
the sensors regularly, being careful not
to scratch or damage the sensors, see
"Cleaning the Parktronic system sensors"
(
 page 378).

Warning! G
Parktronic is a supplemental system. It is
not intended to, nor does it replace, the
need for extreme care. The responsibility
during parking and other critical maneu-
vers always rests with the driver.
Special attention must be paid to objects
with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, or
road curbs). Such objects may not be de-
tected by the system and can damage the
vehicle.
The operational function of the Parktronic
can be affected by dirty sensors, especially
at times of snow and ice, see "Cleaning the
Parktronic system sensors" ( page 378).
Interference caused by other ultrasonic sig-
nals (e.g. working jackhammers, car wash,
or the air brakes of trucks) can cause the
system to send erratic indications, and
should be taken into consideration.
Warning! G
Make sure no persons or animals are in the
area in which you are maneuvering. You
could otherwise injure them.
