How does a PARKTRONIC work on a car?

Parktronic is a special device with several radars, which is fixed on the car. It is able to calculate the distance between the vehicle and other objects. The full name of parktronics is the parking radar or parctronic system. When the device detects an unacceptable distance, it’s signaled o the driver with sound.

What is the full name of the PARKTRONIC system?

The full name of parktronics is the parking radar or parctronic system. When the device detects an unacceptable distance, it’s signaled o the driver with sound. So each car owner can react in time to the situation and make a correction of the position of the vehicle at the parking place.

When was the first electric PARKTRONIC device made?

First time electric parktronic was developed in 1978. Its principle of operation consisted in the use of ultrasonic waves with a vibration frequency of about 40 kHz. The sensors released ultrasound, which was reflected by objects nearby. The main unit of the device analyzed how fast the ultrasound flew, and determined the distance to the object.

Why is my PARKTRONIC not working on my Mercedes?

Inspect the front sensors for interference, cleanliness, and proper orientation. FYI – a gush of water, running down the vehicle’s hood over the sensors when the vehicle is braking can cause activation. Dealer can readily identify malfunctioning sensor.

Is there any way to re-set PARKTRONIC system?

It can still be coaxed to work, and will still correctly show how close objects are whilst parking, but is there any way to re-set the system to clear whatever has caused the initial fault? Checked all the sensors (front & rear) and there are no visible signs of damage which would explain the presence of this error.
