The warning display is divided into five yellow
and two red segments for each side of the vehi-
cle. PARKTRONIC is operational if operational
readiness indicator = lights up.
There is a malfunction if only the red segments
of the warning display light up (Y page 204).
The selected transmission position determines
whether the front and/or rear area is monitored.

One or more segments light up as the vehicle
approaches an obstacle, depending on the vehi-
cle's distance from the obstacle.
From the:
R
sixth segment, an intermittent warning tone
sounds for approximately two seconds.
R
seventh segment, a continuous warning tone
sounds. This indicates that you have now
reached the minimum distance.
Roll-back warning
Regardless of transmission position,
PARKTRONIC automatically monitors the area
behind the vehicle if the vehicle begins to roll
backwards, e.g. after stopping on an uphill gra-
dient.

Towing a trailer
PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear area
when you establish an electrical connection
between your vehicle and a trailer.
After uncoupling the trailer, unplug the 7-pin
connector adapter from the socket
(Y page 218). Otherwise, PARKTRONIC
remains deactivated for the rear area.
