Mercedes-Benz GLC : Parking Assist PARKTRONIC / Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic
parking assistance system with ultrasound. It
monitors the area around your vehicle using multiple
sensors on the front bumper and on the
rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC shows
you the distance between your vehicle and a
detected obstacle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering
and parking remains with you. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects in the maneuvering area while
maneuvering and
parking in/exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
1.0 ft (0.3 m) to an obstacle in front and approximately
3.3 ft (1.0 m) to an obstacle behind. A
continuous warning tone sounds from a distance
of approximately 0.7 ft (0.2 m). Using the Warn
Early All Around setting in the multimedia system,
the warning tones for front and side impact
protection can be set to sound at a greater distance
of approximately 3.3 ft (1.0 m) in front and
2.0 ft (0.6 m) on the sides.
The Warn Early All Around setting is always
active at the rear of the vehicle.
