360° camera

q Function 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 cameras assist you
when you are parking, forexample, or at exits with
reduced visibility.
The 360° Camera includes the following cameras
and evaluates their images:
= Rear view camera
= Front camera
Driving and parking255

=Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
The cameras are only an aid and may show a dis-
torted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or
not show them at all. They are not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsi-
bility for safe maneuvering and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals, objects, etc. in the maneuvering area
while maneuvering and parking.Menu overview &DmHrD9LHZs1Menu Parking Assistance2Top view with image from the front camera3Top view with image from the rear view cam-

The 360° Camera will not function or will only partially function 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.

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.258Driving and parking

\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.

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

qFunction of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system that monitors the area sur-
rounding your vehicle and uses visual and audible
cues to show you the distance between the vehi-
cle and a detected obstacle.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the sides. These must be detected
by the sensors in the front or rear bumper before
you drive past them. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lat-
eral collision, a warning will be issued. The pas-
sive side impact protection can be activated and
deactivated via the multimedia system.
In order for front or rear obstacles to the sides to be displayed, the vehicle must Nrst travel a dis-
tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has traveled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for paying attention to your sur- roundings. You are always responsible for safe
maneuvering and parking. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu- vering area while you are maneuvering and park-
ing or exiting parking spaces.Displays on the central displayVehicles with 360° cameraVehicles with rear-view camera260Driving and parking

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is opera-
tional, the respective areas of the display will be
shown in blue.1Operational, front and rear2Operational, all around3Operational, all around and obstacle detected
The color of the display will change 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 will
shis dynamically depending on the positions and
distances of the obstacles detected.
Depending on the distance to the obstacle detec-
ted, an intermittent warning tone will sound as
well. You can set the timing of the warnings in the
multimedia system. In the Warn Early setting, the
system will warn you from a distance of 3.3 s
(1 m); in the standard setting, it will warn you only from 1.2 s (0.4 m).
Vehicles with 360° cameraVehicles 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 will appear on the central display if
the following requirements are met:
= Vehicles without Active Parking Assist: when
you are driving at a speed no greater than 8 mph (12 km/h).
Driving and parking261

=Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: when you
are driving at a speed no greater than 11 mph (18 km/h).
Optionally, obstacles detected by Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC from a distance of approximately 3.3 s (1.0 m) in front 2 and 2.2 s (0.7 m) at the
sides 3 can also be displayed on the head-up
display.
Vehicles with active ambient lighting and Parking
Package with remote parking functions When Warning Support is activated, the Parking
Assist PARKTRONIC display will also be accompa-
nied by ambient lighting. If an obstacle is detec-
ted, the ambient lighting will light up in the same color as the display on the central display.
The ambient lighting that accompanies the Park-
ing Assist PARKTRONIC display is intended merely
to accentuate the display in the central display and does not replace it.
More information on ambient lighting:
(  page 147)\bA display message for the ambient lighting will
not appear in the area of the driver\bs displayor in the rear passenger compartment.\bDepending on the selected setting, other
functions may supersede the ambient lighting
eMects of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC. In this
case, the ambient lighting eMects of Parking
Assist PARKTRONIC will not occur.
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 trucks
= Pedestrians or animals approaching the vehi-
cle from the side
= Objects placed next to the vehicle
Obstacles at the sides will not be 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, the vehicle will need
to detect obstacles again by driving past them before a new warning can be issued.
Also observe the limits of the following systems:
= Rear-view camera (  page 254)
= 360° camera (  page 255)
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras; otherwise, the system will not be able to
function properly (  page 212).262Driving and parking
