GF54.65-P-0001T Parktronic System (PTS), Function
- with CODE (220a) Parktronic system (PTS)

Component Identification:

Overall description
The Parktronic system (PTS) is an electronic parking assist. It assists the driver in estimating the distances to obstacles in front of and behind the vehicle, particularly in blind spots.

When the vehicle is moving forwards the Parktronic system (PTS) only monitors the front of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is moving backwards the Parktronic system (PTS) monitors the back and front of the vehicle.

Requirement:
^ manual transmission or Sequentronic only when reverse gear is engaged.
^ Automatic transmission or Tiptronic selector lever "N" or "R".

Function conditions
^ Terminal 15 ON
^ Parking brake not operated
^ Selector lever (automatic) in drive mode D, N or R
^ Vehicle speed ≤16 km/h

Function
The distance between the vehicle and obstacle is detected via the front bumper PTS sensor unit (A42) and rear bumper PTS sensor (A43) and passed on to the Parktronic control unit (N62).
The Parktronic control unit (N62) evaluates the signals and activates the center instrument panel PTS warning indicator (A44/4) or the Rear PTS warning indicator (A44/3).
One side of the warning indicator is assigned to each side of the bumper. The warning indicators warn the driver by means of both acoustic and visual signals.

The Parktronic system (PTS) is activated by switching on the ignition, a system self-test is carried out first.

Deactivation
^ The system can be switched off or on manually via the PTS OFF switch (N72s13) in the lower control panel control unit (N72).
Feedback is effected via an LED in the PTS OFF switch (N72s13).
^ Speed-dependent cutout (v ≥18 km/h).
^ Cutout of rear components with trailer recognition (with code (550) trailer hitch).
