Panorama View
Principle
The panoramic view gives you an earlier view
of crossing traffic at blind driveway exits and
intersections.
General information
Road users concealed by obstacles to the left
and right of the vehicle can only be detected
relatively late from the driver's seat. The front
camera and the rearview camera capture the
area around the side of the vehicle to improve
the view.
The camera image shows different levels of
distortion in some areas and is thus not suita-
ble for distance estimations.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the function
can be used when driving forward or in re-
verse.
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.

eras:
