The 360° Camera will not function or will only
partially function in thefo llowing situations:
R The front doors are open.
R The side mir rors are folded in.
R There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
R The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night.
R The area is lit byfluorescent light (the displ ay

R Ifth ere is a sudden change in temp erature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in win‐
te r.
R The ambient temp erature is very high.
R The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or fogged
up.
R Cameras, or vehicle components in which the
came ras are ins talled, are damaged. In this
eve nt, ha vethe cameras, their positions and
th eir setting checked at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop.
Do not use the 360° Camera under such circum‐
st ances. You could otherwise injure others or col‐
lide with objects when parking theve hicle.
On vehicles with height-adjus table suspension or
if th eve hicle is car rying a heavy load, leaving the
st andard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of thege nerated

If th eve hicle/trailer combination swer ves,
yo u can lose control of it.
The vehicle/trailer combination can even tip

Under no ci rcums tances should you try
to inc rease the speed tostra ighten the

Reduce speed and do not counter-s teer. #
If necessar y,apply the brakes. &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
brake sy stem overheating
If yo u lea veyour foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake sy stem may overheat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the

Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time
while driving. &
WARNING Danger of accident due to
unsuitable ball coupling
If yo u ins tall an unsuitable ball coupling, over‐
loading of the trailer hitch and rear axle will
be there sult. This is particularly the case if
th e ball coupling is relatively long or angled
dif fere ntl y.
The handling characteristics may be heavily
impaired and the trailer can become
de tach ed. There is a risk of fata l injur y. #

Obser vethefo llowing points when selecting,
ins talling and replacing tires:
R Use only tires and wheels of the same type,

R Only ins tall wheels of the same size and tread
design on one axle (left and right).
It is only permissible toins tall a dif fere nt
wheel size tothis in theeve nt of a flat tire in

R Attemp eratures below 50 °F (10 °C), use
winter tires or all-season tire mar ked M+S for
all wheels.
Wi nter tires bearing the004D snowflake sym‐
bol in addition tothe M+S marking pr ovide

tions.
R Only use tires with the same tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e ins talled tires.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum speed,
th is must be indicated in an appropriate label
in the driver's field of vision.
R Break in new tires at moderate speeds forthe
