360° camera
General notes
The 360° camera is asystem consisting of four
cameras.
The system processes images from the follow-
ing cameras:
RRear view camera
RFront camera
RTwo side cameras in the exterior mirrors The cameras capture the immediate surround-
ings of the vehicle. The system supports you, for
example when parking or if vision is restricted at
an exit.
You can show images from the 360° camera in
full-screen mode or in six different split-screen
views on the multimedia system.
Asplit-screen
view also includes atop view of the vehicle. This
view is calculated from the data supplied by the
installed cameras (virtual camera).
The six split-screen views are:
Rtop view and picture from the rear view cam-
era (130° viewing angle)
Rtop view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle)
Rtop view and enlarged rear view
Rtop view and enlarged front view
Rtop view and images from the rear-facing side
cameras (rear wheel view)
Rtop 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,t he guide lines
are hidden in the multimedia system.
When you change between transmission posi-
tions Dand R,you see the previouslys elected
front or rear view.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will also
be optically displayed:
Rin split screen view as red or yellow brackets around the vehicle icon in the top view, or
Rat the bottom right as red or yellow brackets
around the vehicle symbol in full-screen mode
The line thickness and color of the brackets
show how far the vehicle is from an object.
Ryellow brackets with thin lines: PARKTRONIC
is active
Ryellow brackets with normal lines: an object is present in close range of the vehicle
Rred line: an object is present in the immediate
close range of the vehicle
