Park assist camera*

General
The parking camera is an assist system and
is activated when reverse gear is engaged
(can be changed in the settings menu, see
page 209).
The camera image is shown in the centre
console's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's
04
electrical system, the protrusion of the
towbar is included when the function
measures the parking space.
WARNING

It does not relieve the driver of respon-
sibility when reversing.
•
The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.

Be aware of people and animals in the
vicinity of the car.

Function and operation
CAM button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car
and if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the
car and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects in the screen may appear to tilt
slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be
closer to the car than they appear to be on
the screen.
If another view is active the parking camera
system takes over automatically and the
camera image is displayed in the screen.
When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken
lines are shown graphically which illustrate
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the
current steering wheel angle, this facilitates
tight parking, reversing into tight spaces and
for hitching a trailer. The car's approximate
external dimensions are illustrated by means
of two dashed lines. These help lines can be
switched off in the settings menu.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors* then their information is dis-
played graphically as coloured fields in order
to illustrate the distance to detected obsta-
cles, see page 193.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h.
