The area behind the vehicle is displayed in a
mirrored fashion, as in the rear-view mirror.

Risk of accident
The reversing camera is only an aid and may
display obstacles in a distorted or incorrect
manner, or may not even display them at all.
The reversing camera does not relieve you of
the responsibility to pay attention. The cam-
era cannot show objects:
R
very near to the rear bumper
R
below the rear bumper
R
in the area immediately above the boot lid
handle
You are always responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your imme-
diate surroundings when parking and
manoeuvring. This applies to the areas
behind, in front of and next to the vehicle. You
could otherwise endanger yourself and oth-
ers.
G
Risk of accident
Under the following circumstances, the
reversing camera will not function, or function
in a limited manner:
R
if the boot lid is open
R
in heavy rain, snow or fog
R
at night or in very dark places
R
if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R
if the area is lit by fluorescent light (the dis-
play may flicker)
R
if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
R
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
R
if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose.
Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situation. You could otherwise injure
others or damage objects and your vehicle
while you are parking.
Activating the reversing camera
X
Make sure that the key is in position 2 in
the ignition lock.
X
Engage reverse gear.
The area behind the vehicle is shown in the
COMAND display with guide lines.
G
Risk of accident
Please note that objects not on ground level
may appear to be further away than they
actually are. These include:
R
the bumper of the vehicle parked behind
R
trailer tow bars
R
the tail-end of a lorry
R
slanted posts
The lines are only guides, not accurate meas-
urements of the distance to an obstacle.
Therefore, you should never pass the red line
when approaching an obstacle. You could oth-
erwise cause an accident and injure yourself
and others.
