2015 MERCEDES-BENZ E-Class SEDAN ignition

360° camera
General notes The 360° camera is a system consisting of
four cameras.
The system analyzes images from the follow-
ing cameras:
R Rear view camera
R 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, e.g. when parking or if vision is
restricted at an exit.
The 360° camera images can be shown in full
screen mode or in six different split-screen
views on the COMAND display. A split-screen view also includes a top view of the vehicle.
This view is calculated from the data supplied
by the installed cameras (virtual camera).
The six split-screen views are:
R top view and picture from the rear view
camera (130° viewing angle)
R top view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle)
R top view and enlarged rear view
R top view and enlarged front view
R top view and pictures from the rearward
facing mirror cameras (rear wheel view)
R top view and pictures from the forward
facing mirror cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from Dor Rto N, the dynamic
guidelines are hidden.
When you change between transmission
positions Dand R, you see the previously
selected front or rear view.
Important safety notes The 360°camera is only an aid and may show
a distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all. The 360°camera is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
You are always responsible for safe maneu-
vering and parking. When maneuvering or
parking, make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects in the area in which you are maneuvering.
You are always responsible for safety, and
must always pay attention to your surround-
ings when parking and maneuvering. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise
endanger yourself and others.
The 360° camera will not function or will
function in a limited manner:
R if the doors are open
R if the exterior mirrors are folded in
R if the trunk lid/tailgate is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the cameras are exposed to very bright
light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
R if the camera lenses are dirty or covered
R if the vehicle components in which the
cameras are installed are damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° camera in this case. You
can otherwise injure others or cause damage to objects or the vehicle.
Guide lines are always shown at road level.
