% Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situations. You could otherwise
injure others or collide with objects when
parking the vehicle.
For technical reasons, the standard height of the
vehicle may be altered if the vehicle is carrying a
heavy load and can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images.
% 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
when you are parking or at exits with reduced
visibility, for example.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa‐
ble when driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 16 km/h and when reversing.
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 manoeuvring and parking
remains with you. Make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects etc., in the manoeu‐
vring area while manoeuvring and parking.
