Reversing Camera - Mercedes-Benz E-Class Series 207 Service Manual

Reversing camera, code (218)
The reversing camera system is a visual aid and
assists the driver when reverse parking and when
backing up the car.
The reversing camera is always activated whenever
reverse gear is selected, provided that the setting
"Automatic ON in reverse gear" is selected via the
menu in the COMAND controller unit.
For the reversing camera system, a color video
camera with wide-angle lens is installed in the trunk
lid, which registers the area immediately behind the
vehicle. The images recorded by the reversing camera
are transmitted in the form of a CVBS signal (Compos-
ite Video Baseband Signal) via the reversing camera
power supply module to the COMAND controller unit.
The image data are directed straight from the
COMAND controller unit via the LVDS interface (low
voltage differential signal) to the audio/COMAND
display and displayed.

Reversing camera, Japan
Japan-version vehicles are equipped with an expanded
reversing camera system.
In the system for Japan, the reversing camera control
unit superimposes guidelines over the video pictures
output on the COMAND unit. With the aid of these
lines the driver can maneuver the vehicle until he has
reached the desired parking position.
The reversing camera system is activated automati-
cally when reverse gear is engaged. The prerequisite
for this is the setting "Automatic in R" in the menu of
the COMAND controller unit. The central operating
unit then provides two parking modes to choose from,
for which guidelines are superimposed on the picture.
The mode that was active the last time the car was
reversed is displayed as the default. The following
options can be selected:
• Back-In Parking Mode (reverse parking)
• Parallel Parking Mode (parallel parking)
