the necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. In particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.

Int
roduction
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immedi-
ate surroundings. You are responsible for
safe maneuvering, parking and pulling away.
When maneuvering and parking, make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects
in the maneuvering area.
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 rear view camera covers the immediate
surroundings of the vehicle and assists you,
for example, when parking.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
R there is very heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or when the vehicle is in very dark
places
R if you are parked somewhere very dark
R the surrounding area is illuminated with flu-
orescent light. 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 ambient temperature is very high
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
R the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
Rear view camera operation The image from the rear view camera is
shown in the display when reverse gear is
engaged if:
R your vehicle is equipped with a rear view
camera
R the ignition is switched on Guide lines in the display (depending on the
vehicle's equipment) help you with backing
up.
Static guide lines Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
rear view camera image displays static guide
lines. These guide lines assist you with back-
ing up.
The static guidelines have the following
meanings: 0043
Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 10 ft
(3 m)
0044 Vehicle width (to outer edge of wheels)
0087 Vehicle width including exterior mirrors
0085 Vehicle center mark (e.g. to improve visi-
bility of a trailer drawbar)
0083 Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 10 in
(0.25 m)
0084 Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 3 ft
(1 m)
i Please note that all distance specifica-
tions are approximate. Additional attach-
ments, such as access steps, are not
accounted for in these distance specifica-
tions.
Deactivating the rear view camera When you shift out of reverse gear, the rear
view camera is automatically deactivated
after 15 seconds. Additionally, you can deac-
tivate it manually. Basic functions

Important safety notes

WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
Observe the legal requirements of the coun-
try in which you are currently driving.
The navigation system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system may provide incorrect
navigation announcements if the surround-
ings do not correspond to the data on the
digital map. For example, a route may have
been diverted or the direction of a one-way
street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations. Becker

Position finding and route guidance take
place using GPS ( GlobalPositioning System).
For this purpose, the navigation module has
an integrated GPS receiver that receives the
satellite signals and determines your geo-
