Parking aid lines
Pathway lines
Pathway lines help you to estimate the space
required when parking and maneuvering on
level roads.
Lane lines are displayed in front of or behind
the vehicle depending on the gear engaged.
The pathway lines are continuously adjusted
to the steering movements depending on the
steering-wheel angle.
Turning circle lines
Turning circle lines can only be superimposed
on the camera image together with pathway
lines.
The lines show the course of the smallest pos-
sible turning circle on a level road.
Only one turning circle line is displayed after
the steering wheel is turned past a certain an-
gle.

Parking
Using parking aid lines
1. Position the vehicle so that the red turning
circle line leads to within the limits of the
parking space.
2. Turn the steering wheel to the point where
the green pathway line covers the corre-
sponding turning circle line.
Obstacle marking
Obstacles are detected by the sensors.
The obstacles detected by the Park Distance
Control are shown by marks in the camera im-
age.
Colored gradients for the obstacle markings in
green, yellow and red indicate the distances.
Functional limitations
The system can be used only to a limited ex-
tent in the following situations:
▷ With a door open.
▷ With open cargo area.
▷ With exterior mirrors folded in.
Areas with gray hatching with an icon in the
camera image identify areas that are currently
not shown such as an open door.
