Important safety notes
The 360° camera is only an aid and may show
a distorted view of obstacles, show them
incorrectly or not at all. The 360° camera is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that
there are no persons, animals or objects in
range while manoeuvring and parking.
You are always responsible for safety, and
must always pay attention to your surround-
ings when parking and manoeuvring. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise
endanger yourself and others.
The 360° camera will not function or will
function only in a limited manner:
if the doors are open
R
if the exterior mirrors are folded in
R
if the boot lid is open
R
in heavy rain, snow or fog
R
at night or in very dark places
R
if the cameras are exposed to very bright
R
light
if the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
R
lighting (the display may flicker)
if you drive into a heated garage in the win-
R
ter and the temperature changes very
quickly
if the camera lenses are dirty or covered
R
if the vehicle components in which the
R
cameras are fitted are damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° camera in this case. You
could otherwise injure others or damage
objects when parking the vehicle.
Guide lines are always shown at road level. In
trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer coupling.
