Reversing camera
Function of the reversing camera
!
Objects that are not at ground level appear
further away than they actually are, for exam-
ple:
R
the bumper of the vehicle parked behind
R
the drawbar of a trailer
R
the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R
the tail-end of a lorry
R
slanted posts
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.
If you have activated the function in the multi-
media system, the image from reversing camera
is displayed in the multimedia system when
reverse gear is engaged. Dynamic guide lines
show the path the vehicle will take for the cur-
rent steering input. This helps you to orientate
yourself and to avoid obstacles when reversing.
The reversing 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.
You can select from the following views:
R
normal view
R
wide-angle view
R
trailer view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.
