Mercedes-Benz V 200 d, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 237 / 404

Only use the camera guide lines for orienta-
tion. Do not get any closer to objects than the
lowest horizontal guide line. You may other-
wise damage your vehicle and/or the object.
The 360° camera is only an aid. The camera
system is not a substitute for your attention to
the immediate surroundings. You are responsi-
ble for safe manoeuvring and parking. When
manoeuvring and parking, make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the
manoeuvring area.
You are always responsible for safety and must
always pay attention to your immediate sur-
roundings when parking and manoeuvring. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise endan-
ger yourself and others.
The camera system may show a distorted view
of obstacles or show them incorrectly or not at
all. Obstacles are not shown by the system in the
following locations:
R
under the front and rear bumpers
R
very close to the front and rear bumpers
R
in the area immediately above the tailgate
handle
R
very close to the exterior mirrors
R
in the transitional areas between the various
cameras in the virtual top view
The 360° camera will not function or will func-
tion only in a limited manner:
R
if the doors are open
R
if the exterior mirrors are folded in
R
if the tailgate is open
R
if it is raining hard, snowing or foggy
R
at night or in very dark places
R
if the cameras are exposed to very bright light.
White lines may appear in the camera image
R
if the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting. The camera image may flicker
R
if the camera lenses mist up, e.g. when driving
into a heated garage in winter, causing a rapid
change in temperature
R
if the ambient temperature is very high
R
if the camera lenses are dirty or covered.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(

R
if the vehicle components in which the cam-
eras are fitted are damaged. In this event,
have the camera position and setting checked
at a qualified specialist workshop
Do not use the 360° camera in this case. You
could otherwise injure others or damage objects
and the vehicle while you are parking.
Guide lines are always shown at road level. In
trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer coupling.
If you change wheel size, make sure they corre-
spond to the correct wheel size category
(

recoding the control units in the vehicle, the
360° camera cannot calibrate properly. The
guide lines at road level or at the level of the
trailer tow hitch will not be displayed correctly.
