Object Detection; 360 Degree Camera (Surround View) - Mercedes-Benz C-Class Operator's Manual

COMAND display in yellow or red respec-
tively.

Object detection

The rear view camera helps detect moving
and stationary objects. If an object (person,
vehicle or other obstacle) is detected, this
object is marked with a bar. Objects located
some distance from the vehicle away are
marked with a yellow bar. If the distance to
the object is very small, the bar is displayed in
red.
Object detection only works in full screen
mode.
To ensure that you can use the function, it
must be switched on in Audio 20/COMAND;
see the separate operating instructions.

General notes
The 360° camera is a system consisting of
four cameras.
The system analyzes images from the follow-
ing cameras:
Rear view camera

Front camera
R
Two cameras in the exterior rear view mir-

rors
The cameras capture the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The system sup-
ports you, for example when parking or if
vision is restricted at an exit.
You can show pictures from the 360° camera
in full-screen mode or in six different split-
screen views on the COMAND/Audio 20 dis-
play. A split-screen view also includes a top
view of the vehicle. This view is calculated
from the data supplied by the installed cam-
eras (virtual camera).
The six split-screen views are:

transmission from D or R to N, the guide lines
in the COMAND display are hidden.
When you change between transmission
positions D and R, you see the previously
selected front or rear view.
