Field of view
Because of the camera angle, the areas un-
der the vehicle cannot be viewed by the
cameras.
Detection of objects
The sensors may not detect very low obsta-
cles as well as high, protruding objects, e.g.,
wall ledges.
Objects shown on the Interaction Unit may
be closer than they appear. Do not estimate
the distance to objects shown on the Inter-
action Unit.
The camera's detection range can be limited
by protruding cargo or a rear carrier.
Malfunction
A camera failure is indicated on the Interac-
tion Unit.
The malfunctioning camera's detection
range is shaded.
Rearview camera
Principle
The rearview camera helps when reverse
parking and maneuvering. The area behind
the vehicle is shown in the camera view on
the Interaction Unit. The rearview camera
turns on when reversing and can be oper-
ated via the Interaction Unit or Park Assist
key.
Additional displays can be shown on the
camera view, e.g., parking assistance lines
and obstacle markings.
