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.
The system evaluates images from the following
cameras:
Rear view camera
R
Front camera

Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
