Object detection
The reversing camera helps detect moving and
stationary objects. If an object (person, vehicle
or other obstacle) is detected, this object is
marked with a bar. Objects located some dis-
tance away from the vehicle are marked with a
yellow bar. If the distance to the object is very
small, the bar is displayed in red.
Object detection works only in wide-angle view.
To use the function, it must be switched on in the
multimedia system (see Digital Owner's Man-
ual).

You can show images from the 360° camera in
full-screen mode or in seven different split-
screen views on the multimedia system. A split-

Important safety notes

distorted view of obstacles, show them incor-
rectly or not show them 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 responsible for safety at all times and
must always pay attention to your immediate
surroundings when parking and manoeuvring.
This applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise endan-
ger yourself and others.
