R
there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. if you drive into a heated garage from
the cold (lens condensation)
R
the camera lens is dirty or covered
R
the rear of your vehicle is damaged
In this case, have the position and setting
of the camera checked by a qualified
specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you contact a
Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose.
Do not use the rear view camera if the roads
are icy, slippery or covered with snow. The
vehicle could slip causing the actual vehicle
position to deviate from the one shown on
the COMAND system display. This may
cause injury to you or others, or damage the
vehicle or objects.
Mounting tires/rims of other specification
than the original equipment tires/rims may
impair the function of the rear view camera.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

Warning!
Please note that objects which do not touch
the ground, such as the bumper of a vehicle
parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or the
back of a truck, may appear to be further
away than they actually are. In this case,
you should not use the guide lines to judge
distance as the use of the guide lines to
judge distance increases the risk of
impacting the objects.
Even when the object you approach is
directly on the ground (and nothing on the
object extends above the ground beyond
the object’s contours directly touching the
ground) and no objects that do not touch
the ground, such as the bumper of a vehicle
parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or the
back of a truck are in the path, do not
approach the object on the ground any
closer than the red guide line.
