Rear view camera
General notes
Rear view camera :is an optical parking and
maneuvering aid. It uses guide lines to show
the area behind your vehicle in the Audio/
COMAND display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear view mirror.
iThe text shown in the Audio/COMAND
display depends on the language setting.
The following are examples of rear view
camera messages in the Audio/COMAND
display.
Observe the notes on cleaning (
Ypage 278).
Important safety notes
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your imme- diate surroundings. You are always responsi-
ble for safe maneuvering and parking. When
maneuvering or parking, make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the area
in which you are maneuvering.

Rin heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
Rif there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Observe the notes on cleaning
(
Ypage 278)
Rif 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).
Activating/deactivating the rear view
camera

The braking performance of the electric
motor using recuperative braking is, in some
operating modes, either reduced or not effec-
tive:
Rwhen the condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery increases
Rif the high-voltage battery is not yet at a
normal operating temperature
Rwhen driving close to the maximum speed
Rwhen the vehicle is almost stationary
Rin transmission positionN
Rduring and after ESP stability control
If necessary, counteract the reduced regen-
erative braking effect by applying the brake
yourself.
Condition of charge display
Condition of charge display :shows the
condition of charge of the high-voltage bat-
tery.
The charge value is shown as a percentage in
the Energy Flow
menu in the instrument
cluster (
Ypage 187).
iThe Energy Flowmenu can also be dis-
played in the COMAND/Audio display.
The condition of charge of the high-voltage
battery has dropped into the reserve range if
the drive system is running and:

If you do not make an additional effort to
apply the brake yourself, the braking effect
may not be sufficient. If necessary, counter-
act the reduced regenerative braking effect
by applying the brake yourself.
