Parking Assist (Parktronic)
(optional)
The Parktronic assists the driver during
parking maneuvers. It visually and
audibly indicates the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle.
The front area of the vehicle is
monitored when driving forward.
When reversing, the front as well as the
rear areas are monitored.
With the key in steering lock position
2, the Parktronic engages automatically
at speeds up to approx. 10 mph (15
km/h) and deactivates during higher
speeds.
The Parktronic can be switched off by
a control switch located in the center
console.
Warning!
The responsibility during parking
and other critical maneuvers rests
always with the driver.
The operational function of the
Parktronic can be affected by dirty
sensors, especially at times of snow
and ice.
Interference caused by other
ultrasonic signals (e.g. working
jackhammers or the air brakes of
trucks) should be taken into
consideration.
Sensors
A total of 10 sensors monitor the
vehicle front and rear areas. Six sensors
are located in the front bumper, four
sensor in the rear bumper.
1 Sensor located in bumper
For proper operation of the Parktronic
always keep the sensors clean.
Use a mild car wash detergent, such as
Mercedes-Benz approved Car Shampoo,
with plenty of water.
When using a steam cleaner or power
washer, aim nozzle only briefly from a
minimum distance of 4 in. (10 cm) at
sensors.
To prevent scratches, never apply strong
force or use a hard cloth when cleaning
the sensors. Do not attempt to wipe dirty
sensors with a dry cloth or sponge.
