Location of the rear-
view camera
Sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers. If these detect an
obstacle, audible and visual signals warn you. The range at which
the sensors begin to measure is approximately:
To the side
Center rear
2 ft (0.60 m)
5.2
ft
(1.60
m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter the interval between
the audible signals . A continuous tone sounds when the obstacle is
less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away. Do not continue
driving farther.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same, the volume of the
distance signal chime is gradually reduced after about 4 seconds
(does not affect the continuous signal tone) . Approaching another
obstacle will cause the distance signal to sound again at the normal
volume.
Rearvievv camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by the rearview camera
=>
fig. 178
G).
Objects that are not in the area covered
0
are not
shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with the rear-view camera
in a traffic -free location or parking lot to become familiar with the
system, the orientation lines, and their function . When doing this ,
there should be good light and weather conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear closer or further away
if:
• you are driving in reverse gear from a level surface onto an
incline, or a downward slope,
• you are driving in reverse gear toward protruding objects ,
• the vehicle is carrying too much load in the rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue surfaces diminishes
if:
• the rear-view camera does not provide a reliable image, for
example, in poor visibility conditions or if the lens is dir t y,
• the image on the screen is not visible due to sun glare and reflec -
tion.
Caring for the rear-vievv camera lens
The rear-view camera is loca t ed above the rear license plat e bracket .
For the parking assist to operate, the lens => fig. 179 must be kept
clean : .,_
