Warning indicators
Visual signals indicate to the driver the rel-
ative distance between the sensors and an 
obstacle. The warning indicator for the 
front area is located above the center air 
vents in the dashboard. The warning indi-
cator for the rear area is integrated in the 
rear trim.
Front area warning indicator
1 Left side of the vehicle
2 Right side of the vehicle
3 Readiness indicators
Each warning indicator is divided into five 
yellow and two red segments for either 
side of the vehicle. The Parktronic system 
is operational when yellow readiness 
indicators
3 are illuminated.
The position of the gear selector lever 
determines which warning indicators will 
be activated.
As your vehicle approaches an object, one 
or more segments will come on, depending 
on the distance. When the seventh seg-
ment illuminates, you have reached the 
minimum distance.
Front area: An intermittent acoustic 
warning will sound as the first red 
distance segment illuminates and a 
constant acoustic warning lasting a 
maximum of 2 seconds will sound for 
the second red distance segment. The 
signal is canceled when the gear selec-
tor lever is placed in position P or the 
parking brake is activated.
Rear area: An intermittent acoustic 
warning will sound as the first red 
distance segment illuminates and a 
constant acoustic warning lasting a 
maximum of 2 seconds will sound for 
the second red distance segment. The 
signal is canceled when the gear selec-
tor lever is placed in position D,  P or 
the parking brake is activated.
