Switching on /off
The rear view camera switches on automatically together
with the acoustic park assist when you put the vehicle in
reverse.
Switching on
- Put the vehicle in reve rse gear, the acoustic parking
system with rear view camera is activated automatically.
Activation of the acoustic park ing system is confirmed by
a brief acknowledgement sou nd.
Switching off
- Drive faster than 6 mph ( 10 km/h), or
Controls and equip
ment
take t he vehicle out of reve rse gear . The acoustic parking
system is immediate ly deactivated, and t he rear view
camera picture is d eactivated automatica lly after a
period of about 15 seco nds, or
- switch off the ignition .
The delay in deactivating the camera provides an uninterrupted
view behind the vehicle especially when maneuvering in tight
parking spaces and prevents the picture from turning off the every
time you shift out of reverse.
I f the warni ng message appears in the display but not the rear view
camera picture, read and confirm the warn ing message. The
acoustic distance signal is a lways ac tive .
I f you press a function button on the MMI termina l, the rear view
camera picture disappears. The rear view camera picture reappears
the next time you park.
Further information on the warning message and the MMI terminal
can be found in the MMI inst ruction booklet.
[ i ] Tips
• The rear view camera picture is available as soon as the MMI
Display or the MMI is switched on, or the start -up phase is
completed.
• Keep the sensors in the rear bumper and the rear view camera
lens clean and free of snow and ice, so that the parking system can
work properly . Please fo llow the additional notes on=>

obstacle. Each marking corresponds to 3 ft
(1 m). The

& WARNING
• The rear view camera does not show the entire area behind the
vehicle~
page 157 , fig. 170. Watch out especially for small chil
dren and animals . The rear view camera cannot always detect
them , posing risk of an accident!
• Please note that objects not touching the ground can appear to
be further away than they really are (for example, the bumper of a
parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear of a truck). In this case,
you should not use the help lines to help with parking, which
poses danger of an accident!
0 Note
• Low obstacles already signaled by a warning can disappear from
the system's detection range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signaled . Objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, thin painted vertical poles or fences may not be detected by
the system, posing risk of damage.
• In the MMI display , the direction of travel of the vehicle rear is
represented depending on the steering wheel angle. The vehicle
front swings out more than the vehicle rear. Maintain plenty of distance from an obstacle so that your ou tside mirror or a corner of
your vehicle does not collide with any obstacles -danger of
accident! •

General information
The HomeLink® fe ature can le arn up to th ree r adio
fre quency codes for m ost c urrent transmitters used for
operating garage doors, es tate gates , home or outdoor
ligh ting sy stems, and other devices .
You m ust first pro gram the H omel in k® trans mitter befor e you can
use the system=>
page 165, "Programm ing th e Homelink® trans
m itter".
In order to pro gram t he Homelink® transmitter fo r devices utilizing
ro lling code, a second person on a ladder who can safe ly reach the
ga rage door o pene r m oto r is rec omm ended . It is also necessa ry to
locate the "learn" button on your garage door opener motor. Refer
to t he op era ting instructions for the opene r, as the loca tion and
co lor of this button may vary by manufacturer .
Y ou can still use the o rigina l remote c ontrol fo r th e dev ice at any
time.
& WARNING
• Never use the Homelinkl1JI transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and reverse feature as
requ ired by federal safety standards . This in cludes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object , signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety
standards . Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death .
& WARNING (continued)
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake or start the
engine while anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed . If the devi ce is repeatedly activated , this can over
strain motor and damage its electrical components -an over
heated motor is a fire hazard!
• To avoid possible injuries or property damage , please always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.
