Panorama Side View
The concept
Panorama Side View provides an early look at
cross traffic at blind driveways and intersec‐
tions. Road users concealed by obstacles to
the left and right of the vehicle can only be de‐
tected relatively late from the driver's seat. To
improve the viewing, each camera, front and
rear on the vehicle, detects the traffic area on
the side.
Which camera is active is shown on the top
edge of the screen.
Hints
The images of the cameras are displayed, de‐
pending on the gear selected, on the Control
Display.
Check the traffic situation as well
Check the traffic situation around the ve‐
hicle on blind driveways and intersections with
your own eyes. Otherwise, an accident could
result from road users or objects located out‐
side the picture areas of the Panorama Side
View cameras.◀
