dust by means of a flap. When the reversing cam‐

The flap closes again when you have ended the
manoeuvring process or you switch off the
engine.

the image from the reversing 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
reversing.

substitute for you paying attention to the sur‐
roundings. You are always responsible for safe
manoeuvring and parking. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects etc. in the
manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking
in parking spaces.
