Swit ching off
.,. Drive faster than 9 mph (15 km/h), or
.,. take the vehicle out of reverse gear. The
acoustic parking system is immediately de-
activated, and the rear view camera picture
is deactivated automatically after a period
of about 15 seconds, or
.,. switch off the ignition.
The delay in deactivating the camera provides
an uninterrupted view behind the vehicle es-
pecially when maneuvering in tight parking
spaces and prevents the picture from turning
off the every time you shift out of reverse.

but not the rear view camera picture, read and
confirm the warning message. The acoustic
distance signal is always active .
If you press a function button on the MMI
control console, the rear view camera picture
disappears. The rear view camera picture reap-
pears the next time you park.
Further information on the warn ing message
and the MMI control console can be found in
