Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
al imited manner: R
if the trunk lid is open R
in heavy rain, snow or fog R
at night or in very dark places R
if the camera is exposed to very bright light R
if the area is lit by fluorescent bulb sorL ED
lighting (the displa ym ay flicker)R
if there is as udden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into ah eated garage in win-
ter R
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Observe the notes on cleaning
( Y
page 240) R
if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at aq ualified 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 vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, bicycle rack).
For technical reasons, leaving the standard
height can result in inaccuracies in the guide
lines on vehicles with ah eight-adjustable chas-
sis.
i The rear view camera is protected from rain-
drops and dust by means of af lap. When the
rear view camera is activated, this flap opens.
The flap closes agai nw hen:R
you have finished the maneuvering process R
you switch off the engine R
you open the trunk
Observe the notes on cleaning ( Y
page 240).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the rear view camera has
been deactivated.
Activating/deactivating the rear view
camera X
To activate: make sure that the SmartKey is
in position 2 in the ignition lock.X
Make sure that the Activation by Rg ear
function is selected in the multimedia system;
see the Digital Operator's Manual. X
Engage reverse gear.
The rear view camera flap opens. The multi-
media system shows the area behind the vehi-
cle with guide lines. The image from the rear view camera is avail-
able throughout the maneuvering process.
To deactivate: the rear view camera deacti-
vates if you shift the transmission to P or after
driving forwards as hort distance.
Displays in the multimedia system The rear view camera may show ad istorted view
of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera does not show objects in
the following positions: R
very close to the rear bumper R
under the rear bumper R
in close range above the handle on the trunk
lid
! Objects not at ground level may appea rt o
be further awa yt han they actually are, e.g.: R
the bumper of ap arked vehicle R

Use the guidelines only for orientation.
Approach objects no further than the bottom-
most guideline.

Speed rating The speed rating is part of the tire identification.
It specifies the speed range for which the tire is
approved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) The gross vehicle weight includes the weight of
the vehicle including fuel, tools, the spare wheel,
accessories installed, occupants, luggage and
the drawbar noseweight, if applicable. The gross
vehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehi-
cle weight rating GVWR as specified on the vehi-
cle identification plate on the B-pillar on the
driver's side.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) The GVWR is the maximum permissible gross
weight of af ully loaded vehicle (the weight of the
vehicle including all accessories, occupants,
fuel, luggage and the drawbar noseweight, if
applicable). The gross vehicle weight rating is
specified on the vehicle identification plate on
the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Maximu ml oaded vehicle weightThe maximum weight is the sum of: R
the curb weight of the vehicle R
the weight of the accessories R
the load limit R
the weight of the factory installed optional
equipment
Kilopascal (kPa) Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-
sponds to 1p si. Another unit for tire pressure is
bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equivalent of
1b ar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, the load
index may also be imprinted on the sidewal lo f
the tire. This specifies the load-bearing capacity
more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of av ehicle with standard equipment
including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and
coolant. It also includes the air-conditioning sys-
tem and optional equipment if these are instal-
led in the vehicle, but does not include passen-
gers or luggage. Maximu ml oad ratingThe maximum load rating is the maximum per-
missible weight in kilograms or lbs for which a
tire is approved.
Maximu mp ermissible tire pressureMaximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximu ml oad on one tireMaximum load on one tire. This is calculated by
dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by
two.
PSI (pounds per squar ei nch)As tandard unit of measure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio Relationship between tire height and tire width
in percent.
Tire pressure This is pressure inside the tire applying an out-
ward force to each square inch of the tire's sur-
face. The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be corrected when
the tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure The tires are cold: R
if the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and R
if the vehicle has not been driven further than
1m ile (1.6 km)
Tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact with
the road.
Bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits securely
on the wheel. There are several steel wires in the
bead to prevent the tire from coming loose from
the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
bead.All about wheel sa nd tires 273
