What Is PARKTRONIC® on a Mercedes-Benz?

PARKTRONIC® is an advanced parking assist feature that can be had on Mercedes-Benz vehicles. With it, New Jersey drivers can take the stress out of finding a parking spot. It is an impressive piece of technology and a reflection of the brand’s commitment to safety and innovation. But how does PARKTRONIC® actually work?

How to Use Parking Assist

At first, using PARKTRONIC® might feel like an overwhelming task. After all, some may not be used to a car parking itself. But at Ray Catena of Freehold, we want to help you get the most out of Mercedes-Benz parking assistance. Here is how PARKTRONIC® works:

• Scan for Parking: Once you get to your destination in Freehold, NJ, or the surrounding area, your Mercedes-Benz can scan for parking spots. You will need to be driving at or under 20 mph in order to use this feature. Your vehicle will scan both sides of the road to look for an appropriate spot to park, even if it is between two other cars.

• Begin the Parking Process: Once PARKTRONIC® finds a suitable spot, you will need to shift into reverse and press “OK.” This is when the system will start the actual process of pulling into the spot. During this time, you will need to remain aware of your surroundings. You will also need to control the brake and throttle. 
• Adjust: While this system is extremely advanced, there is a chance you may need to make adjustments. PARKTRONIC® can help you if that is the case, it is just something to keep in mind. 

When you are ready to leave, reactivate the PARKTRONIC® system of your Mercedes-Benz. Activate your turn signal to let other drivers know you are pulling out, and PARKTRONIC® with Active Parking Assist will help you get safely back on the road.
