Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate
vehicle surroundings. The system assists you
when you are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when the vehicle is being driven forwards up
to a speed of approx. 10 mph (16 km/h) and

distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. Responsibility
for safe maneuvering and parking remains with
you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects etc., in the maneuvering area while
maneuvering and parking.
