COMAND display depends on the language
setting. The following are examples of rear
view camera messages in the COMAND
display.
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. Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
Rif the trunk lid is open
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 the camera lens fogs up, e.g. when driving
into a heated garage in winter, causing a
rapid change in temperature
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
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).
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:
Ryou have finished the maneuvering proc-
ess
Ryou switch off the engine
Ryou open the trunk
Observe the notes on cleaning
(
Ypage 336).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the rear view camera has
been deactivated.
