The reversing camera will not function or will only
partially function in the following situations:
= The boot lid is open. =

eather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy
rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.
= The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.
= Cameras, or vehicle components in which the
cameras are Ntted, are damaged, dirty or cov-
ered. Observe the information on vehicle sen-
sors and cameras ( page 182).
% Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situations. Y

ou could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.

qF
unction of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras which cover the immediate sur-roundings of the vehicle. The system assists you
when y

ou are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 16 km/h and when reversing.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. The responsi-
bility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area
while manoeuvring and parking.
The system evaluates images from the following
cameras:
= Reversing camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors Driving and parking

qF
unction of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system which monitors the area
surrounding your vehicle and shows you the dis-
tance between the vehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the side. During the parking proce-
dure or manoeuvring, objects are detected as the
vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of
a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral
collision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side to be detected, the sensors in
the front and rear bumper must Nrst detect the
object while you are driving past it. Driving and parking
227

In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to
be displa yed, the vehicle must Nrst travel a dis-
tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.

As soon as P
arking Assist PARKTRONIC is opera-
tional, the respective areas of the display are
shown in blue.
1 Operational, front and rear
2 Operational, all around
3 Obstacles detected at the front les and on
t
he right-hand side
The colour of the display changes depending on
t
he distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 1 m (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approximately 1 m - 0.7 m =
Or
ange: approximately 0.7 m - 0.4 m
= Red: <0.4 m
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line
shiss dynamically depending on the position and
distance of the obstacles detected.
Depending on the distance to the obstacle detec-
ted, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You
can set the timing of the warnings in the multime-
dia system(  page 231).
Standard setting: = Front and sides: < 0.4 m
= Rear: < 1 m
Warn early all-round :
= Front: < 1 m
= Sides: < 0.7 m
= Rear: < 1 m
A continuous warning tone sounds from a dis-
tance of approximately 0.2 m, regardless of the
selected setting. 228

P

arking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily
take into account the following obstacles:
= Obstacles below the detection range, e.g. per-
sons, animals or objects.
= Obstacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of lorries.
= Pedestrians or animals approaching the vehi-
cle from the side.
= Objects placed next to the vehicle
Obstacles on the sides are not shown in the fol-
lowing situations, for example: = You park the vehicle and switch it oM.
= You open the doors.
Aser an engine start, obstacles must be detected
again by driving past them before a warning can
be issued.
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and
cameras; the system otherwise cannot function
properly ( page 182). Driving and parking
