If the system is not ready for operation, the Sys-
tem Inoperative message appears in the central

The surround view camera will not function or
will only partially function in the following situa‐
tions:
R

than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
R
The doors are open.
R

out.
R

night or if light is shining into the camera.
R

ged up.
R
If cameras or vehicle components in which
the cameras are installed are damaged. In
this event, have the cameras, their positions
and their setting checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
% Do not use the surround view camera under
such circumstances. You could otherwise
injure others or collide with objects when
parking the vehicle.
For technical reasons, the standard height of the
vehicle may be altered if the vehicle is carrying a
heavy load and can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images.
The field of vision and other functions of the
camera system may be restricted due to addi‐
tional attachments on the vehicle (e.g. license
plate bracket, bicycle rack).
% The contrast of the display may be impaired
by abrupt, direct sunlight or by other light
sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In
this case, pay particular attention.
% Have the display repaired or replaced if, for
example, pixel errors considerably restrict its
use.

camera (
