GF54.65-P-3000RT Driving Operation, Function
- with CODE (220) Parktronic system (PTS)

Component Identification:






Function prerequisite
^ Circuit 15 ON
^ Parking brake not applied

General
The PTS control unit performs a self-test after switching on the ignition (circuit 15 ON). If no malfunctions or faults are present, this is indicated by the standby bar in the center of the warning indicator.

Activate and deactivate Parktronic system (PTS)
The Parktronic system (PTS) can be switched on and off manually via the PTS OFF switch in the upper control panel control unit.When the Parktronic system (PTS) is switched off, the function LED in the PTS OFF switch comes on; the LED is off when the Parktronic system (PTS) is activated
When the ignition is switched on (circuit 15 ON), the Parktronic system (PTS) is automatically activated even when it was deactivated during the previous ignition cycle.

Operation with trailer
When a trailer is connected, the monitoring function at the rear of the vehicle is deactivated. The rear SAM control unit recognizes the trailer connector and sends a corresponding signal to the PTS control unit.

Visual warning
The brightness of the warning indicators is automatically adapted to the ambient light conditions.If the rain/light sensor indicates "Night", the warning indicators are dimmed.Correspondingly, during the "Day" the warning indicators are actuated at full intensity.

Acoustic warning
When an obstacle is approached, an additional acoustic signal is given simultaneously with illumination of the first red LED.This acoustic signal is output intermittently at a frequency of approx. 6 Hz. When the distance to the obstacle decreases to less than 20 cm or 8 inches, the intermittent tone changes to a continuous tone.

When driving, the Parktronic system (PTS) goes to the standby mode at a speed of less than 40 km/h or 25 mph to 16 km/h or 10 mph, i.e. the PTS control unit, the warning indicators and the sensors continue to be supplied with power, however, can not function.

Front monitoring range active (selector lever position "D")
Upon dropping below the minimum speed of 16 km/h or 10 mph, the Parktronic system (PTS) is switched to the measuring mode.
When an obstacle is recognized in front of the vehicle, the driver is first notified by a visual signal consisting of various LED's in the driver-side instrument panel PTS warning indicator.When the interval is reduced to a certain level, an additional acoustic warning is given, starting with an intermediate tone and then a continuous tone (see table below).

Front and rear monitoring area active (Selector lever position "R" or "N")
Upon dropping below the minimum speed of 16 km/h or 10 mph, the Parktronic system (PTS) is switched to the measuring mode. When an obstacle is recognized in front of the vehicle, the driver is first notified by a visual signal consisting of various LED's in the driver-side instrument panel PTS warning indicator or in the rear dome lamp PTS warning indicator.When the interval is reduced to a certain level, an additional acoustic warning is given, starting with an intermediate tone and then a continuous tone (see table below).

Upon exceeding the upper speed of 18 km/h or 11 mph, the Parktronic system (PTS) returns to the standby mode.
