from the rear-view camera.
Its colour incrementation corresponds to the

Zoom to trailer tow hitch*

To facilitate connecting up a trailer, the picture
area around the trailer tow hitch can be zoomed.
The distance between the trailer and the trailer
tow hitch can be estimated with the aid of two
static semicircles.
A docking-on line dependent on the steering
angle helps you to aim at the trailer with your
trailer tow hitch.
The zoom function can be enabled when the
camera is switched on.
Displaying the trailer tow hitch via iDrive, see
page 105.
Activating assistance functions
A number of assistance functions can be active
simultaneously.
The zoom function for towing a trailer can only
be activated individually.
