WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the
pedal travel or obstruct a depressed pedal.
The operating and road safety of the vehicle
is jeopardized. There is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats
securely and as specified in order to ensure
sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place floormats on
top of one another.
! If the engine is switched off and a device
which is connected to the on-board diag-
nostics connection is being used, the bat-
tery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics
connections can lead to emissions monitor-
ing information being reset. The possible out-
come may be that the vehicle no longer fulfills
the emissions laws and regulations. This may
be a criminal offense or breach of road traffic
regulations in certain countries. Qualified specialist workshops

Introduction

The rear view camera is a visual parking aid.
Information on operation can be found in the
separate Audio 15 supplement.
The camera is in the middle of the roof above
the high-mounted brake lamp (Y page 271).
The rear view camera may show obstacles in
perspectival distortion, incorrectly or not at
all. The rear view camera cannot display all
objects located very near and/or under the
rear bumper. It does not warn you of a colli-
sion, persons or objects.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed in a
mirrored fashion, as in the rear-view mirror or
the exterior mirrors. The guide lines displayed
assist you in backing up.
The function of the rear view camera may be
partially or completely impaired in the follow-
ing circumstances:
R it is raining very heavily or snowing, or it is
foggy.
R the parking space is located in a very dark
place.
R the camera is exposed to very strong white
light. White stripes may appear on the dis-
play.
R the surrounding area is illuminated with flu-
orescent light. The display may flicker.
R if the temperature changes very quickly, for
example if you drive into a heated garage
in the winter.
R ambient temperatures are very high.
R the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
R the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the position and setting
checked at a specialist workshop.
The rear view camera is switched on when
you engage reverse gear R.
You can find information on cleaning the cam-
era in the "Maintenance and care" section
(Y page 271). Working mode
