Controls in detail Driving systems 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. Front sensors Center Corners Rear sensors Center Corners approx. 47 in (120 cm) approx. 32 in (80 cm) approx. 39 in (100 cm) approx. 23,5 in (60 cm) ! During parking maneuvers, pay special attention to objects located above or below the height of the sensors (e.g. planters or trailer hitches). The Parktronic system will not detect such objects at close range and damage to your vehicle or the object may result. Ultrasonic signals from outside sources (e.g. truck air brakes or jackhammers) may impair the operation of the Parktronic system. Minimum distance Center Corners approx. 8 in (20 cm) approx. 6 in (15 cm) If the system encounters an obstacle in this range, all the warning lamps come on and you hear a warning signal. If the obstacle is closer than the minimum distance, the actual distance may no longer be indicated by the system. 234
