Pathway lines
▷ Pathway lines can be superimposed on the
image of the rearview camera.
▷ They help you to estimate how much
space is needed when parking and maneu‐
vering on level pavement.
▷ They are dependent on the current steer‐
ing angle and are continuously adjusted to
the steering wheel movements.
Turning circle lines
▷ Turning circle lines can only be superim‐
posed on the rearview camera image to‐
gether with pathway lines.
▷ They show the course of the smallest pos‐
sible turning radius on a level road.
▷ Only one turning radius line is displayed af‐
ter the steering wheel is turned past a cer‐
tain angle.

Obstacle marking
Obstacle markings can be faded into the image
of the rearview camera.
Their colored margins match the markings of
the PDC. This simplifies estimation of the dis‐
tance to the object shown.
Parking using pathway and turning
radius lines
1. Position the vehicle so that the turning ra‐
dius lines lead to within the limits of the
parking space.
2. Turn the steering wheel to the point where
the pathway line covers the corresponding
turning radius line.
