PARKTRONIC C250 W204 2013

[Markob]

Hi

Buying a used mercedes tomorrow, C250 Amg sport premium plus May 2013.

Great spec, but wondering is Parktronic simply just the front and rear beepers, or is it parking assist combined?

Also, do all comand systems of this year include the 10gb music storage?

W204 model

Parktronic on that model is it gives you instructions on the dash how far to turn your steering wheel and when, it will also have the beepers and lights

No one uses it, but good as a selling point.

Not true. I do. Or rather, did. Once. Shortly after I bought the car....

BTW, this is actually the Active Park Assist.

The OP's W204 will have the older passive version:

Does that mean he has to do it all ?

Same here, then considered my alloys against the high kerbs.

Yes... there's a graphic image on the cluster showing you how far to turn the wheel to either side, but that's it.

Like this:

That's all you get... graphic instructions.

Not used it yet but i see the arrow pop up telling me there's a space.

Issue now is(thankfully I have warranty) ABS inoperative along with speedtronic and cruise control inoperative, run flat inoperative also.

Im hoping its just a sensor?

Most likely a wheel sensor (STAR or iCarsoft will tell you which one), or low battery voltage.

Taking it in next week and will see what it is.

Any suggestions how to clean black out of the red seat belt? Doesnt look like mildew hard to know. Was out in the cold a while before i purchased it. Replacement webbing doesn't seem an option on these cars. Maybe a decent valet would clean it out?

I would have thought a decent upholstery cleaner would bring it back to life, mine are red with similar mucky marks.
