Are you saying that the audible warning (beeping) when you park, is not part of the Driver Assistance Package? If it is not, is it part of the Parking Assistance Package. If neither, is it standard with the back up camera?
My prior BMW had both a back up camera and audible warning, which I liked very much.
My present 2016 E350 was an end of year stock model with the back up camera but without the audible warning system.
I really miss the audible warning system and definitely want that on my 2019 E450.
So to be clear, if I do not get the Parking Assistance Package, will I get the audible warning system?
Thanks.

For laughs I just called Mercedes Benz of North America and asked the following question: "If I do not order the parking assist, as I back up will I get an audible warning?" The answer was "No". I pointed out that the vast majority of MB's imported into the United States do not have parking assist and was he sure that without this option there is no audible warning?
He responded that "that is correct"
This has changed my entire thinking about the E450: Honda, Toyota and Ford, have as standard equipment (no charge) the safety options that Mercedes charges thousands of dollars for!.
Forcing you to pay $1290 (the Parking Assist Package) to get audible warnings, something that has been standard on Honda Civic since 2016 is repulsive.

When my E450 arrives (I ordered without park assist pkg but with driver assist pkg), I will confirm.

Really at a certain price point, not including audible sensors (what was previously called "Parktronic") in a $70,000 is ridiculous and outrageous.
I am replacing my wife's 2016 Ford Edge with a 2019 at basically the same price: The 2019 Edge has every safety feature as standard equipment - whereas in a Mercedes we are paying thousands extra for what is standard in almost every other car. At some point you have to say "enough is enough"!

Personally, I wish that I could turn off the warning sounds. The car seems to beep almost continuously even when simply driving down the street with traffic. The camera display when parking is more than enough.

Sorry I disagree: audible sounds are very, very useful when parking on the street or in a garage. Except for my 2016 E350 all the cars I have owned for the past 5 years have had this feature.
Based on what you have posted, and as confirmed by MB of USA, to get audible warnings when parking you must get the Parking assist, a $1290 option, which option (audible warnings) is standard equipment in almost all other cars - from Honda to Toyota to Ford.
I guess this answers 348STTB question and I suspect he is not happy with the answer!

Yes Asian, United States, England and Sweden! Seems everyone but Germans!
While I have been driving German cars for nearly 40 years (Porsche, MD, BMW and Audi) this idea of charging for safety features really rubs me the wrong way: As per a prior post by 348SStb "It is a disgrace".
I fully understand charging crazy prices for designo leather, or $4,000 for a sound system, but safety should be the number one priority of every car manufacturer including the Germans. This should be double so for MB who slogan is "nothing but the best".
German cars, especially MB were once the leaders in safety, for example ABS. Now with a $65,000 plus car, safety costs extra????? What arrogance!!!

I will be ordering a 2019 E450 without the Parking Assistance package (996) as I am fully able to park myself. I have this feature on my Ford Edge Sport and I have used it once in three years - just to see that it works - it did, but was not worth the effort.
I intend to get the Driver Assistance package (997), Premium package (PO1) and Exterior lighting package (319) plus heated steering wheel (443) on my 2019 E450.
I have read the entire thread: When I park the car as ordered above, as I approach the car behind, will there warning beeps that intensify as I get closer to the car?
Has anyone demod a car without the Parking Assistance package to see what happens when you back up or go forward towards a car in front you you?
I know this feature, beeping is standard on Toyota, Honda and Ford!

Hello 348SStb,
I just bought a used 2019 e450 4Matic, and it has the placeholders for the sensors on the front bumper, but it does not alarm me when I approach some object.
Unlike my old 2013 s550 with Parktronic, it was a great help not bumping into anything with the alert.
Does your e450 come with this feature? If not, is it possible to add it from the dealership afterward?

my VIN is: WDDZF6JB1KA530814.
I cannot find any information online whether the Parktronic feature can be added afterward.
Since the sensor placeholders exist on the bumper, and the model year is relatively new, I figure it should not be too hard to add the sensors and harness, and activate this feature with the onboard computer. But with Mercedes, who knows.
When I look at the Window Sticker, it shows the following features:
[234] Blind spot assist
[p01] Premium package: Inductive wireless charging w/ NFC pairing
[810] Burmester Surround Sound

Yeah, you don't have it as an option. Not too many people have added it as an option afterwards.

Hello Cetialpha5,
Thanks for your help.
The reason for my ask is that this car is equipped with AMG Styling front spoiler, which is very low to the ground.
I have run over parking lot cement bars twice in 2 weeks, and each time, it rips out the front bumper.
I had to replace the splash shields (front and corner shields) under the front bumper.
This is very annoying. I need some sensors to tell me that I am close to some objects!

Yes, it is a US vehicle. And it does not beep. On my old 2013 s550, when you approach an object, there is a "P" inside a blue square box shows up on the center of the dash, and it beeps with illuminated bars to indicate how close you are to the object. I believe that's the Parktronic feature.
I was looking for a similar feature in this 2019 e450.
