Controls in detail Driving systems Front sensors Center Corners Rear sensors Center Corners approx. 48 in (120 cm) approx. 32 in (80 cm) approx. 40 in (100 cm) approx. 24 in (60 cm) Minimum distance Center Corners approx. 8 in (20 cm) approx. 6 in (15 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, car wash, or jackhammers) may impair the operation of the Parktronic system. If the system detects an obstacle in this range, all the distance warning segments illuminate 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. 261
