Important safety notes
The 360° camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incor-
rectly 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 surroundings when
parking and manoeuvring. This applies to the
areas behind, in front of and beside the vehicle.
You could otherwise endanger yourself and oth-
ers.
The 360° camera will not function or will func-
tion 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 light
R
if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
R
lighting (the display may flicker)
if the camera lenses mist up, e.g. when driving
R
into a heated garage in winter, causing a rapid
change in temperature
if the camera lenses are dirty or covered
R
if the vehicle components in which the cam-
R
eras 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 under such cir-
cumstances. You could otherwise injure others
or damage objects when parking the vehicle.
The guide lines in the multimedia system display
show the distances to your vehicle. The distan-
ces only apply to road level.
In trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer tow hitch.
The camera in the rear area is protected by
means of a flap. This flap opens when the 360°
camera is activated. See the notes on cleaning
(
page 330). For technical reasons, the flap
Y
may remain open briefly after the 360° camera
has been deactivated.
The field of vision and other functions of the
camera system may be restricted due to addi-
tional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
licence plate holder, bicycle rack).
On vehicles with height-adjustable suspension,
due to the technical conditions, leaving the
standard height can result in:
inaccuracies in the guide lines
R
inaccuracies in the display of generated
R
images (top view)
