Automatic camera perspective
The automatic camera perspective shows a
steering-dependent view in the respective driv‐
ing direction.
This perspective adapts to the respective driving
situation.
As soon as obstacles are detected, the view
changes to a fixed display of the area in front or
at the rear behind the bumper or, if necessary,
changes to a side view.
When reverse gear is engaged, the automatic
camera perspective is closed and the system
uses a fixed perspective of the rearview camera.
If necessary, manually select the automatic cam‐
era perspective when reverse gear is engaged.
The automatic camera perspective will be re‐
tained for the current parking maneuver.
Movable unobstructed camera

With selection of the movable camera perspec‐
tive, a circle appears on the Control Display.
By turning the Controller or via touch function,

lected.
The current perspective is marked with a camera
symbol.
To leave the function, move the Controller side‐
ways and select another camera function.
