Randomly when driving at low speeds the parktronic display pops up on the main screen
And then it shows the red ring around that image of the car on the main display, this happens intermittently almost like the parktronic is activating at low speeds but erroneously when there is nothing around I'm only slowing down to a traffic light on an empty road...
Anyone else experience something similar? Thanks in advance for any constructive help.

Great point, sorry should have mentioned that in my original post, yes they are clean, just had the car washed recently and I made sure to check them, as I understand it there are sensors all along the plastic front bumper and all along the plastic rear bumper, but there are no sensors on the sides or mirrors, is that correct?
Also, if I can figure out how to do it, I will post up a couple of pictures here as well to assist in receiving better guidance.

Parktronic only activates at low speed but in your case seems an alert appears for no reason. An alarm could come from water pouring from the bonnet ore somewhere when coming to a stop but you should not have that much water just after a car wash. It could happen if it was raining heavily. I'd have the car diagnosed for a possibly faulty sensor.

I cannot remember having any random alerts on any of our previous MBs or my current W222. No experience of the 223.

Still some confusion? One thing is that Parktronic only activates at slow speed and the rear only when reversing. The other thing is Parktronic giving an alarm when something is detected at relatively close range.
