General information
The Parktronic system (PTS) is an ultrasonic measurement system for detecting the range to an obstruction in critical situations. It assists the driver when parking and in maneuvering situations at speeds of 15 km/h.
The sensors in the front and rear bumpers emit ultrasound signals which are reflected by an obstacle in the detection range. The echoed ultrasound signals are received by the sensors and their journey time is measured.
The Parktronic control unit (N62) calculates the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle from the runtime of the echo and actuates the warning indicators.
The distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is indicated to the driver visually and acoustically.
In the process the brightness of the warning indicators can be adapted to the brightness of the surroundings automatically or manually depending on the model series.
The Parktronic system (PTS) is activated when the ignition is switched on.
The system is active even if it was manually deactivated during the last journey.
The Parktronic system can be switched on or off by a switch.
On models 215, 220 as of 01.07.02 the lower limit of speed at vu is 15 km/h and the upper limit of speed at vois 18 km/h.
