in the 3D views may be severely distorted
when displayed or not displayed at all.
Make sure that there are no persons,

System limits
If the system is not ready for operation, the Sys-
tem Inoperative message appears in the central
display.
The 360° Camera will not function or will function
only partially in the following situations:
= You are driving forwards at a speed greater
than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
= The doors are open.
= An outside mirror is not completely folded out.
= The trunk lid is open.
= The weather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy
rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.
= The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night or if
light is shining into the camera.
= The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or fogged
up.
= If cameras or vehicle components in which the
cameras are installed are damaged. In this
event, have the cameras, their positions and their setting checked at a qualiNed specialist
workshop.\bDo not use the 360° Camera under such cir-
cumstances. You could otherwise injure oth-
ers or collide with objects when parking the vehicle.
For technical reasons, the standard height of thevehicle may be altered if the vehicle is carrying a
heavy load and can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images.
The Neld of vision and other functions of the cam-
era system may be restricted due to additional attachments on the vehicle (e.g. license plate
bracket, bicycle rack).
\bThe contrast of the display may be impaired
by abrupt, direct sunlight or by other light
sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In
this case, pay particular attention.\bHave the display repaired or replaced if, forexample, pixel errors considerably restrict
its use.
See the notes on cleaning the 360° Camera
(  page 313).

Displays in the central displayVehicles with 360° CameraVehicles with rear view cameraAs soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is opera-
tional, the respective areas of the display are
shown in blue.1Operational, front and rear2Operational, all around3Operational, all around and obstacle detected
The color of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 3.3 s (1 m) (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approx. 3.3 s (1 m) - 2.2 s (0.7 m)
= Orange: approx. 2.2 s (0.7 m) - 1.2 s (0.4 m)
= Red: < 1.2 s (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. In the Warn Early setting, the system
warns you from a distance of 3.3 s (1 m), in the
standard setting only from 1.2 s (0.4 m).

Vehicles with rear view camera
If you are not in the Camera & Parking menu and
an obstacle in the vehicle path is detected, pop- up window 1 appears in the central display if the
following requirements are met:
= Vehicles without Active Parking Assist: when
driving no faster than 8 mph (12 km/h).
= Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: when driv-
ing no faster than 11 mph (18 km/h).
Optionally, obstacles detected by Parking Assist

System limits
Parking 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 truck.
= 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 the engine is restarted, obstacles must be
detected again by driving past them before a new
warning can be issued.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Rear view camera (  page 220)
= 360° camera (  page 223)
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and
cameras; the system otherwise cannot function properly (  page 179).230Driving and parking
