Parktronic...can you get it without the active park assist

I like the sensors to detect if I'm close to something with Parktronic. I'm assuming it is those little circles on the front and rear bumper.


Can you get it without active park assist? I was trying to figure that out in the configurator? I didn't see I tin the drivers assist package.

I see it a different way, to get parktronic, they force you to pay for the useless and expensive park assist. Passes me off to no end. Total rip off. I got it since I wanted the front sensors.

Interesting, as the Parktronic is fitted as standard, in the UK. Iguess we just pay for it in the list price!

I have to say that I was sceptical - but after having a couple of practice runs, I think it is fantastic - more from a novelty value, I suppose, but the grandchildren were in complete awe!

But does it really live up to the traffic and tight spaces of city parking?
I'm curious as to how tight of a space it can fit into. Or rather how large of a space it needs to "detect" before it can be activated

You answered it yourself, the car wont start the park assist if the pocket is too small.

It looks for one meter margin in total. If less than that is available, it will not 'detect' the space for automatic parking.
