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 rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the immediate
surroundings. You are responsible for safe
manoeuvring and parking. When manoeuvring
and parking, make sure that there are no per-
sons, animals or objects in the manoeuvring
area.
The rear view camera may show a distorted view
of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot show all objects
which are very near to or under the rear bumper.
It will not warn you of a collision, people or
objects.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
a limited manner:
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 camera is 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 lens mists up, e.g. when driving
into a heated garage in winter, causing a rapid
change in temperature
R
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(

R
if the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
Do not use the reversing camera in these situa-
tions. You could otherwise injure others or dam-
age objects and the vehicle while parking and
manoeuvring.
The field of vision and other functions of the
reversing camera may be restricted due to addi-
tional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
licence plate holder, rear-mounted bicycle
rack).
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
(
Y
page 365). If the assignment changes with-
out recoding the control units in the vehicle, the
reversing camera cannot be calibrated exactly.
The guide lines at road level or at the level of the
trailer tow hitch will not be displayed correctly.
The reversing camera is protected from rain-
drops and dust by means of a flap. When the
reversing camera is activated, this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
R
you have finished the manoeuvring process
R
you switch off the engine
For technical reasons, the flap may remain open
briefly after the reversing camera has been
deactivated.
