are no persons, animals or objects in the area
in which you are maneuvering.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
R if the trunk lid is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if the camera lens fogs up, e.g. when driving
into a heated garage in winter, causing a
rapid change in temperature
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning(Y page 217)
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop
The field of vision and other functions of the
rear view camera may be restricted due to
additional accessories on the rear of the vehi-
cle (e.g. license plate holder, bicycle rack).
The guide lines in the COMAND display show
the distances to your vehicle. The distances
only apply to road level.
iThe rear view camera is protected from
raindrops and dust by means of a flap.
When the rear view camera is activated,
this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
R you have finished the maneuvering proc- ess
R you switch off the engine
R you open the trunk
Observe the notes on cleaning( Y page 217).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the rear view camera has
been deactivated.
!Objects not at ground level may appear to
be further away than they actually are, e.g.:
R the bumper of a parked vehicle
R the drawbar of a trailer
R the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R the rear section of an HGV
R a slanted post
Use the guidelines only for orientation.
Approach objects no further than the bot-
tom-most guideline.
The rear view camera may show a distorted
view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or
not at all. The rear view camera does not show objects in the following positions:
R very close to the rear bumper
R under the rear bumper
R in the area immediately above the tailgate
handle

Information in the Digital Operator's
Manual
In the Digital Operator's Manual you will find
information on the following topics: RDisplays in the COMAND display
R "Reverse parking" function
R Wide-angle function
R Object detection
360° camera (surround view)
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 side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras capture the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The 360° camera
assists you, for instance when parking or at
exits with reduced visibility.
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 images from the rear-facing
side cameras (rear wheel view)
R top view and images from the forward-
facing side cameras (front wheel view) When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from
Dor Rto N, the guide lines
in the COMAND display are hidden.
When you change between transmission
positions Dand R, you see the previously
selected front or rear view.
