Park assist camera*
Parking camera is an auxiliary system, which
is activated when the reverse gear is selected.
The camera image is shown on the centre
console's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, the protrusion of the
towbar is included when the function
measures the parking space.
WARNING
•
The parking camera serves as an aid.
It does not relieve the driver of respon-
sibility when reversing.
•
The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•
Be aware of people and animals in the
vicinity of the car.
Function and operation
Camera location next to the opening handle.
The camera shows what is behind the car
and if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the
car and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects on the screen may appear to tilt
slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be
closer to the car than they appear to be on
the screen.
If another view is active then the parking
camera system takes over automatically and
its camera image is displayed on the screen.
When reverse gear is selected, unbroken lines
are shown graphically which illustrate where
the car's approximate external dimensions
will be positioned with the current steering
wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking,
reversing into tight spaces and for hitching a
trailer. The park assist lines can be deacti-
vated - see section Settings (p. 241).
If the car is also equipped with Parking assis-
tance sensors (p. 235)* then their information
is shown graphically as coloured areas in
order to illustrate distances to detected
obstacles, see heading "Cars with reversing
sensors" later in the text.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or
35 km/h backward.
Light conditions
The camera image is adjusted automatically
according to prevailing light conditions.
Because of this, the image may vary slightly
in brightness and quality. Poor light condi-
tions can result in a slightly reduced image
quality.
NOTE
Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow
and ice to ensure optimum function. This
is particularly important in poor light.
