Reversing camera
Function of the rear view camera
When you engage reverse gear, the image from
rear view camera 1 is shown in the multimedia
system. Dynamic guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take with the steering wheel in its
current position. This helps you to orientate
yourself and to avoid obstacles when backing
up.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute 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 in the maneu‐
vering area while maneuvering and parking in
parking spaces.
You can select from the following views:
