Hi guys i am getting beeps when i overtake and when i park in a car park next to other vehicles but NOT at the front and rear of my ml350. Does this sound like an easy fix or will i have to spend a wad of cash? Thanks in advance of possible cures.
 
so the beeps are working but the actual dots on the parktronic thingy aren't?

It would need a scan to see which sensors are duff. They are not overly expensive to replace.

I have only 1 red light either side of the Parktronic thingy and they are on all the time wether it beeps or not. I shall have to get it scanned as suggested by 'one for the road. Many thanks for replying.

Many thanks for replying, i shall do that.
 
Find a local indie that can do the scan (and do the necessary repairs!), as an MB stealer will charge at least £75+VAT just for the scan!! Must be someone in your area, hopefully someone on here will advise, you're too far North for my knowledge!

Thanks for replying, i have been put in touch with a credible auto electrician who is not too far from me. Hopefully he can sort it without breaking the bank.

The rubber seal on the sensors are prone to delamination which lets in water. Shorting out the sensors . Its usually wet wintry weather that upsets them. Hope you get sorted anyhow.

Hi I don't think this is anything to do with your parkatronic. it is the collision warning system that can be turned on or off in the menu. .
 
How new is the car? I assuming its fairly recent if its badged 4 Matic.

Based on it being a newer model, is it a double beep when you over take?

I'm not sure about the beeps when parked next to vehicles, do you have 360 camera's and blind spot warning? Depending on model year you may have rear cross traffic assist, this often beeps in car parks when things move in proximity to the rear even when not in view.

I need to look into that, i have only recently bought the car so i am not too familiar with it all as yet. all i know is that the front and rear parking sensors are not activating. Many thanks to you for your suggestion.

It is a 2011 ML350 3.0 4Matic Sport. It is a single beep when i overtake another vehicle.
