How to use line markings and turning
circle lines
1. Position the car such that the turning circle
lines lead into the limits of the parking
space.
2. Turn the steering wheel until the line mark-
ings are aligned with the turning circle lines.
This will set the steering wheel to a position that
uses the car's smallest possible turning circle
when you park the car.
Virtual camera panning
The picture area displayed depends on the
car's current speed:
At low speeds, the camera is panned towards
the road surface; at higher speeds, it is panned
towards the horizon.
The picture area that is currently most relevant
is thus shown enlarged on the control display.
To activate virtual camera panning, select the
camera picture "Camera picture on full screen",
see Displays on page 82.
Trailer tow hitch zoom*
To facilitate connecting up a trailer, the picture
area around the trailer tow hitch can be zoomed.
You can estimate the distance between the
trailer and the trailer tow hitch with the aid of
two static lines. The lines indicate a distance of
approx. 20 cm, approx. 8 in, or approx. 10 cm,
approx. 4 in.
A docking-on line determined by the steering
angle helps you to align your trailer tow hitch
with the trailer.

The zoom function can be activated with the
rear view camera activated. It will be deacti-
vated from a speed of approx. 7 km/h, approx.
4 mph.
Obstacle marking
3D shaped markings are displayed in the rear
view camera picture. The colour gradations cor-
respond to the Park Distance Control markings
and help you to estimate how far away the
object in the picture is.
When reversing at more than approx. 20 km/h,
approx. 12 mph, the obstacle marking is deacti-
vated.
