Fig. 143► represents the area covered by the reversing camera. Only this area is shown in the picture on the infotainment display. Objects out of range of the camera in area -2- do not appear in the picture.
- Please observe the safety warnings ►.
- For safety reasons, you should not use the system if the position and installation angle of the reversing camera have been changed, e.g. due to an accident. Have it checked by a qualified workshop.
- Only use the reversing camera to assist you if it is supplying you with a good and clear picture. The quality of the picture can be impaired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a defect.
- Only use the reversing camera when the boot lid is completely closed. Please make sure that there are no objects mounted to the rear end of the vehicle which could limit the view of the reversing camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision. Objects on the screen are modified and depicted inaccurately.
- In certain situations, people or objects on the display may appear closer or further away than they really are:
- Objects which are not touching the ground, such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a tow-bar or the rear end of a truck. In this case, do not use the orientation lines as a guide.
- When you are reversing from a horizontal surface up a gradient or down a hill.
- When approaching protruding objects.
- When the vehicle has been loaded with a greater load on the rear.
- (Applies to vehicles with air suspension: ) The accuracy of the orientation lines and the blue area markings decreases if the vehicle is raised/loweredlink►.
- Please observe the safety warnings ►.
- The orange orientation lines on the infotainment display show the path of the rear end of the vehicle if you were to reverse using the current steering angle. Please note that the front end of the vehicle swings out further than the rear. Please make sure you keep a sufficient distance between the vehicle and any obstacles to make sure that the exterior mirror or edge of the vehicle do not collide with the obstacles.
Note
There is no rear or side* distance warning if the system detects that a trailer is being towed. However, the system will still give a warning when obstacles are detected while driving forwards. The proximity graphic will switch over to towing mode. The image of the reversing camera will then be shown without orientation lines and blue area markings. If the towing bracket is not factory-fitted the functions may not be switched off automatically.
