R
of your vehicle is damaged. In this case, have
the camera and its position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
%
Do not use the rear view camera in these
types of situation. You could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load, leaving the
standard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images, depending on technical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate bracket or bicycle rack).
%
The contrast of the display may be impaired
by direct sunlight or by other light sources,
e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this
case, pay particular attention.
% Have the display repaired or replaced if, for
example, pixel errors considerably restrict its
use.
360° camera
Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate
vehicle surroundings. The system assists you,
e.g. when parking or at exits with reduced visibil‐
ity.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa‐
ble when driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 10 mph (16 km/h) and when backing
up.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incor‐
rectly or not show them at all. It is not a substi‐
tute for your attention to the surroundings. The
responsibility for safe maneuvering and parking
remains with you. Make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects etc., in the maneu‐
vering area while maneuvering and parking.
