Pathway lines
Obstacles behind the vehicle are detected by
the PDC sensors and, when respectively
equipped, detected by the rearview camera.
Pathway lines can be superimposed on the im‐
age of the rearview camera.
Obstacle markings can be faded into the image
of the rearview camera.
Pathway lines help you to estimate the space
required when parking and maneuvering on
level roads.
The colored thresholds of the obstacle mark‐

Pathway lines depend on the current steering
angle and are continuously adjusted to the
steering wheel movements.
