Object detection
The rear view camera can detect moving and
stationary objects. If, for example, a pedes-
trian or another vehicle is detected, these
objects are marked with bars. The system is
only able to detect and mark stationary
objects when your vehicle is moving. When
the vehicle is stationary, moving objects can
be detected and marked.
In order to use the function, it must be
switched on in COMAND (see the separate
operating instructions).
360° camera (surround view)
General notes
The 360° camera is a system consisting of
four cameras.
The system analyzes images from the follow-
ing cameras:
R
Rear view camera
R
Front camera
R
Two side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras capture the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The 360° camera
assists you, for instance when parking or at
exits with reduced visibility.
The 360° camera images can be shown in full
screen mode or in six different split-screen
views on the COMAND display. A split-screen
view also includes a top view of the vehicle.
This view is calculated from the data supplied
by the installed cameras (virtual camera).
The six split-screen views are:
R
top view and picture from the rear view
camera (130° viewing angle)
R
top view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle)
R
top view and enlarged rear view
R
top view and enlarged front view
R
top view and images from the rear-facing
side cameras (rear wheel view)
R
top view and images from the forward-
facing side cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from D or R to N, the guide lines
in the COMAND display are hidden.
When you change between transmission
positions D and R, you see the previously
selected front or rear view.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will
also be optically displayed:
R
in split screen view as red or yellow brack-
ets around the vehicle icon in the top view,
or
R
at the bottom right as red or yellow brack-
ets around the vehicle symbol in full-screen
mode
The line thickness and color of the brackets
show how far the vehicle is from an object.
R
yellow brackets with thin lines:
PARKTRONIC is active
R
yellow brackets with normal lines: an
object is present in close range of the vehi-
cle
R
red line: an object is present in the imme-
diate close range of the vehicle
Important safety notes
The 360°camera is only an aid and may show
a distorted view of obstacles, show them
incorrectly or not at all. The 360°camera is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
You are always responsible for safe maneu-
