Reversing camera
Function of the reversing camera
If you have activated the function in the multime‐
dia system, the image from reversing camera
1
appears in the multimedia system when reverse
gear is selected. Dynamic guide lines show the
path the vehicle will take with the steering wheel
in its current position. This helps you to orient
yourself and to avoid obstacles when reversing.
The image from reversing camera
1
appears in
the multimedia system when the following condi‐
tions are fulfilled:
R
The ignition is switched on.
R
Reverse gear has not been engaged.
R
The rear doors are opened.
This means that the area behind the vehicle can
be monitored.
When the rear doors are closed, the image from
the reversing camera is switched off after approx‐
imately ten seconds.
The reversing camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and park‐
ing remains with you. Make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects etc., in the manoeu‐
vring area while manoeuvring and parking.
