General Information

@ of the rear-view
camera

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

OP-eration
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.
Rearview camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by the rearview
camera ::> fig.
169 (D. Objects that are not in the area covered@ 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 dirty,
• the image on the screen is not visible due to sun glare and reflec ­
tion.
Caring for the rear-view camera lens
The rear-view camera is located above the rear license plate bracket.
For the parking assist to operate, the lens=> fig . 170 must be kept
clean:
• Dampen the lens with a household alcohol-based glass cleaner,
and clean the lens with a dry cloth=>

If the warning message appears in the display but not the rear-view
camera picture, read and confi rm the warn ing message . The aco ustic
distance signal is always act ive.
If you press a function button on the MMI control console, the rear ­
view camera picture disappears. The rear-view camera picture reap­
pears the next time you park .
Further information on the wa rning message and the MMI contro l

(I] Tips
• The rear-view camera picture is ava ilable 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

& WARNING (continued)
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 outside mirror or a corner of your
vehicle does not collide with any obstacles -danger of accident! •

the blue area so that there is sufficient space from the curb. The area
must not be on the curb . You will also need to star t turning the
steeri ng wheel much earlier. There sho uld be a suff icie nt amount of
space between the cu rb and t he b lue c urve, and the blue c urve
=> page 168, fig . 1 74 must not touch the curb .
