124 Driving and parking
The flap closes again when you have ended the
maneuvering process or you switch off the
engine.
For technical reasons, the flap may remain open
briefly after the rear view camera has been deac‐
tivated.
When you engage reverse gear, the image from
the rear view camera is shown automatically in
the media display. Dynamic guide lines show the
path the vehicle will take for the current steering
movement. This helps you to orient yourself and
to avoid obstacles when backing up.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for you paying attention to the sur‐
roundings. You are always responsible for safe
maneuvering and parking. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects etc. in the
maneuvering area while maneuvering and parking
in parking spaces.
You can use the softkeys located below or to the
side to choose between the following views:
Normal view
1
Yellow guide line, vehicle width (driven sur‐
face) depending on the current steering
angle (dynamic)
2
Yellow guide line at a distance of approx‐
imately 3.3 ft (1.0 m) from the rear area
3
Yellow path marking the course the tires will
take at the current steering position
(dynamic)

1.0 ft (0.3 m) from the rear area

1.0 ft (0.3 m) to the ball head of the trailer
hitch

Observe the notes on cleaning and care of the
rear view camera (
page 184).
/
The rear view camera may show a distorted view
of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot show all objects
which are very near to or under the rear bumper.
It will not warn you of a collision, people or
objects.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a mir‐
ror image, as in the inside rearview mirror.
When you shift out of reverse gear, the dynamic
guide lines are faded out. If, after shifting out of
reverse gear, you drive faster than 10 mph
(16 km/h), the rear view camera is deactivated.

partially function in the following situations:
