Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Warning displays

The warning display for the rear area is in the roof lamp in the rear compartment.

3 Segments showing operational readiness
The warning display for each side of the vehicle is divided into five yellow and two red segments. PARKTRONIC is operational if yellow segments showing operational readiness 3 light up.
The selected transmission position determines which warning display is active when the engine is running.

From the:
• sixth segment onwards, you will hear an
intermittent warning tone for
approximately two seconds.
• seventh segment onwards, you will hear a
warning tone for approximately two
seconds. This indicates that you have now
reached the minimum distance.
