208Driving and operatingPanoramic view system
This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 360° picture in
the Info Display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses four cameras: ● rear camera, installed in the tailgate
● front camera, installed in the front
grill below the emblem
● side cameras, located at the bottom of both exterior mirrors
The screen in the Info Display is
divided into two parts: on the left there
is a view from above the vehicle, and
on the right there is the view from front
or the rear displayed, according to the gear engaged. The parking sensors
complete the information on the view.
Activation Panoramic view system can be
activated by touching d in the Info
Display. It may be neccessary to slide
to the next page on the home menu
to find.
Functionality
Rear view
Rear view displays an image of the
area behind the vehicle on the right
part of the screen when reverse gear
is engaged or by touching d first
and e second.
A warning triangle 9 may be
displayed on the screen when
obstacles are detected by the rear
sensors of the parking assist. This
triangle changes from yellow to red
and increases in size the closer the
object gets.The previous content of the Info
Display appears when the vehicle is
shifted out of reverse gear after a short delay. To return to the previous
display content sooner, press the
camera icon in the Info Display.
Driving faster than 7 mph in a forward gear will deactivate the panoramic
system also.
Surround view
Surround view displays an image of
the area surrounding the vehicle from
above, along with the front or rear
camera views in the Info Display.
Front view
Front view displays an image of the
area in front of the vehicle on the right
part of the screen. The view displays
after shifting from reverse gear to a
forward gear, or by touching d in the
Info Display. Front view also displays objects automatically detected within
30 cm. The front view is only
displayed up to a speed of 7 mph in a
forward gear.

210Driving and operatingSystem limitationsCaution
For optimal operation of the
system, it is important to keep the
lenses of the cameras in the front
grille, the housings of outside
mirrors and in the tailgate between the number plate lights always
clean. Rinse the lenses with water and wipe with a soft cloth.
Do not clean the lenses with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
The panoramic view system may not
operate properly when:
● The surrounding is dark.
● The sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly into
the camera lenses.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer.
● The vehicle had an accident.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a
view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Info Display.9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
parking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle
using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted between the number plate lights.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.

224Driving and operatingTrailer hitch
General information
The factory-fitted towing equipment is
folded up under the rear bumper
fascia.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment. Only use
towing equipment that has been
approved for your vehicle.
To avoid vehicle damage, the power
tailgate cannot be operated with the
radio remote control when a trailer is
electrically connected.
The bulb outage detection function for trailer brake light cannot detect a
partial bulb outage. E.g. in case of
four bulbs with a power of 5 W each,
the function only detects light outage
when only a single 5 W bulb remains
or none remain.
Fitting of towing equipment could
cover the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case use the coupling ball
bar for towing.Driving characteristics and
towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do
so if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements.
During trailer towing do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed
of 60 mph is only appropriate if an
oscillation damper is used and the
permissible gross trailer weight does
not exceed the vehicle's kerb weight.
For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers, the use of an
oscillation damper is strongly
recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 291.Trailer towing
Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be
exceeded. The actual trailer load is
the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.
The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to 12%.
The permissible trailer load applies
up to the specified incline and at sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10%
for every 1000 m of altitude. The
gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with
slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.
motorways).
