On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time to allow yourself to rest. If you do not take
a break and ATTENTION ASSIST continues to
detect increasing lapses in concentration, you
will be warned again after 15 minutes at the
earliest. This will only happen if ATTEN-
TION ASSIST still detects typical indicators of
fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration.
PARKTRONIC
General notes
PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking aid. The
system is equipped with ultrasonic sensors in
the front and rear bumpers to monitor the area
around your vehicle. PARKTRONIC indicates vis-
ually and audibly the distance between your
vehicle and an object.
Your vehicle features two separate sound emit-
ters with different frequencies for the warning
tones. The warning ranges in front of and behind
the vehicle are indicated by different warning
tones.
PARKTRONIC is automatically activated when
the key is turned to position 2 in the ignition lock
and the parking brake is released.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, you
must also shift the transmission to position D, N
or R.
PARKTRONIC is deactivated at speeds above
18 km/h. PARKTRONIC is reactivated at speeds
below 16 km/h.
Important safety notes
PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attention to the immediate surround-
ings. You are responsible for safe manoeuvring,
parking and pulling away. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the
manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and park-
ing in/leaving parking spaces.
!
Pay particular attention to obstacles above
or below the sensors when parking, such as
flower pots or trailer towbars. PARKTRONIC
does not detect such objects when they are in
the immediate vicinity of the vehicle. You
could damage the vehicle or objects.
PARKTRONIC can suffer interference from:
R
ultrasonic sources such as a lorry's
compressed-air brakes, an automatic car
wash or a pneumatic drill
R
attachments to the vehicle, e.g. rear moun-
ted racks
R
number plates (vehicle licence plates) that
are not affixed flat against the bumper
R
dirty or icy sensors
Remove a detachable trailer coupling if it is no
longer required. PARKTRONIC measures the
minimum detection range to an obstacle from
the bumper, not the ball coupling.
Range of the sensors
PARKTRONIC does not account for obstacles
that are:
R
beneath its detection range, e.g. persons, ani-
mals or objects
R
above its detection range, e.g. overhanging
loads, overhangs or truck loading ramps
