WARNING
- The rear view camera does not show the
entire area behind the vehicle
¢ page 118, fig. 130. Watch out espe-
cially for small children and animals. The
rear view camera cannot always detect
them, posing risk of an accident!
- Please note that objects not touch ing the
ground can appear to be further away
than they really are (for example, the
bumper of a parked vehicle, a trailer
hitch, or the rear of a truck). In this case,
yo u should not use the help lines to he lp
with parking, which poses danger of an
accident!

Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a
warning can disappear from the system's
detection range as they are approached
and will not continue to be signaled. Ob-
jects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, thin pa inted vertical poles or fen-
ces may not be detected by the system,
posing risk of damage.
- In the MMI d isplay, the direction of trav-
el of the vehicle rear is represented de-
pending on the steering wheel angle.
The vehicle front swings out more than
the veh icle rear. Maintain plenty of dis-
tance from an obstacle so that your out-
s ide mirror or a corner of your vehicle
does not collide with any obstacles - dan-
ger of accident!
