a symbol for your own vehicle appears in the
multimedia system. If the PARKTRONIC warning
displays are active, warning displays

light up
in the multimedia system in yellow or red

Object detection
The rear view camera can detect moving and
stationary objects. If, for example, a pedestrian
or another vehicle is detected, these objects are
marked with bars. The system is only able to
detect and mark stationary objects when your
vehicle is moving. When the vehicle is station-
ary, moving objects can be detected and
marked.
To ensure that you can use the function, it must
be switched on in the multimedia system (see
the Digital Operator's Manual).
360° camera (surround view)
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 side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras cover the immediate surroundings
of the vehicle. The 360° camera assists you, for
instance when parking or at exits with reduced
visibility.
You can show images from the 360° camera in
full-screen mode or in six different split-screen
views on the multimedia system. 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 cam-
era (130° viewing angle)
R
Top view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle 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 images from the rear-facing side
cameras (rear wheel view)
R
Top view and images from the forward-facing
side cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from D or R to N, the guide lines
are hidden in the multimedia system.
When you change between transmission posi-
tions D and R, you see the previously selected
front or rear view.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will also
be optically displayed:
R
in split screen view as red or yellow brackets
around the vehicle icon in the top view, or
R
at the bottom right as red or yellow brackets
around the vehicle symbol in full-screen mode
The line thickness and color of the brackets
show how far the vehicle is from an object.
R
yellow brackets with thin lines: PARKTRONIC
is active
R
yellow brackets with normal lines: an object is
present in close range of the vehicle
R
red line: an object is present in the immediate
close range of the vehicle
