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 cameras in the exterior rear view mir-
rors
The cameras cover the immediate surround-
ings of the vehicle. The system supports you,
e.g. when parking or if vision is restricted at an
exit.
The 360° camera images can be shown in full
screen mode or in six different split-screen
views on the COMAND display. 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
camera (130° viewing angle)
R
Top view and picture from the front camera
(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 rear-view images from the
exterior mirror cameras (rear wheel view)
R
Top view and forward-view images from the
exterior mirror cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from position
h
or
k
to
i
,
you see the previous view in the COMAND dis-
play. The dynamic guidelines are hidden.
When you shift between transmission posi-
tions
h
and
k
, you see the previously selec-
ted front or rear view.
Important safety notes
The 360° camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects
in the maneuvering area when you are maneu-
vering or parking.

of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at
all. It cannot show objects in the following
areas:

You are always responsible for safety, and
must always pay attention to your surround-
ings when parking and maneuvering. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise
endanger yourself and others.

tion in a limited manner:
