(Y page 335)
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
The field of vision and other functions of the
reversing camera may be restricted due to addi-
tional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g. licence plate holder, rear-mounted bicycle
rack).
The reversing camera is protected from rain-
drops and dust by a flap. When the reversing
camera is activated, this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
R you have finished the manoeuvring process

Object detection The reversing camera helps detect moving and
stationary objects. If an object (person, vehicle
or other obstacle) is detected, this object is
marked with a bar. Objects located some dis-
tance away from the vehicle are marked with a
yellow bar. If the distance to the object is very
small, the bar is displayed in red.
Object detection works only in wide-angle view. To use the function, it must be switched on in the
multimedia system (see Digital Owner's Man-
ual). 360° camera
General notes The 360° camera is a camera system compris-
ing four cameras.
The system evaluates images from the following
cameras:
R reversing camera
R front camera
R two side cameras on the exterior mirrors
The cameras cover the immediate surroundings
of the vehicle. The system assists you, e.g. when
parking or at exits with reduced visibility.
You can show images from the 360° camera in
full-screen mode or in seven different split-
screen views on the multimedia system. A split-
screen view also includes a top view of the vehi- cle. This view is calculated from the data sup-
plied by the installed cameras (virtual camera).
The seven split-screen views are:
R top view and image from the reversing cam-
era (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 trailer view (vehicles with trailer
tow hitch)
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
are hidden in the multimedia system.
When you change between transmission posi-
tions Dand R, you see the previously selected
front or rear view.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will also
be displayed:
R as red or yellow brackets around the vehicle
symbol in top view in split-screen mode or
R at the bottom right as red or yellow brackets
around the vehicle symbol in full-screen mode 202
Driving systemsDriving an
d parking

The line thickness and colour of the brackets
show how far the vehicle is from an object.
R yellow brackets with thin lines: PARKTRONIC
is active
R yellow brackets with normal lines: an object is
present in close range of the vehicle
R red line: an object is present in the immediate
close range of the vehicle
Important safety notes The 360° camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incor-
rectly or not show them at all. The 360° camera
is not a substitute for attentive driving.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in range
while manoeuvring and parking.
You are responsible for safety at all times and
must always pay attention to your immediate
surroundings when parking and manoeuvring.
This applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise endan-
ger yourself and others.
The 360° camera will not function or will func-
tion only to a limited extent:
R if the doors are open
R if the exterior mirrors are folded in
R if the 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 lamps or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if the camera lenses mist up, e.g. when you
drive into a heated garage in winter, causing a
rapid change in temperature
R if the camera lenses are dirty or covered
R if the vehicle components in which the cam-
eras are fitted are damaged. In this case, have
the camera position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop
Do not use the 360° camera under such cir-
cumstances. You could otherwise injure others
or damage objects when parking the vehicle.
The guide lines on the multimedia system dis-
play show the distances to your vehicle. The
distances apply only at road level.
In trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer tow hitch. The camera in the rear area is protected by a
flap. This flap opens when the 360° camera is
activated. See the notes on cleaning
(Y page 335). For technical reasons, the flap
may remain open briefly after the 360° camera
has been deactivated.
The field of vision and other functions of the
camera system may be restricted due to addi-
tional attachments (e.g. licence plate holder,
rear bicycle carrier).
On vehicles with height-adjustable suspension,
due to the technical conditions, leaving the
standard height can result in the following:
R inaccuracies in the guide lines
R inaccuracies in the display of generated
images (top view)
