Object detection
The rear view camera helps detect moving and
stationary objects. If an object (person, vehicle
or other obstacle) is detected, this object is
marked with a bar. Objects located some dis-
tance from the vehicle away are marked with a
yellow bar. If the distance to the object is very
small, the bar is displayed in red.
Object detection only works in wide-angle view.
To ensure that you can use the function, it must
be switched on in the multimedia system (see
the separate operating instructions).
360° camera
General notes
The 360° camera is a system consisting of four
cameras.
The system processes 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 surround-
ings of the vehicle. The system supports you, for
example when parking or if vision is restricted at
an exit.
You can show images from the 360° camera in
full-screen mode or in six different split-screen
views on the multimedia system. 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 cam-
era (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
are hidden in the multimedia system.
When you change between transmission posi-
tions 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 brackets
around the vehicle icon in the top view, or
R
at the bottom right as red or yellow brackets
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 vehicle
R
red line: an object is present in the immediate
close range of the vehicle

distorted view of obstacles, show them incor-
rectly or not at all. The 360°camera is not a
substitute for attentive driving.
