where obstacles cannot be detected.

The driver is advised to read all sec-

to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
Cross Traffic Alert* (p. 349)
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

A camera symbol on the cen-
tre display's car symbol indi-
cates which of the cameras is
active.
Objects shown in the centre display may
appear slightly tilted — this is normal.
360° view*
Forwards
If the car is also equipped
with Park Assist System*
then distance to detected obstacles is illus-
trated with fields in different colours.
The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually.
Backwards
The "field of vision" of the parking cameras with
approximate coverage area.
The 360° view function activates all parking
cameras, whereupon the four sides of the car
are shown simultaneously in the centre dis-
play, which helps the driver to observe what is
around the car when manoeuvring at slow
speeds.
The forwards parking camera is located in the grille.
The front camera can be helpful on an exit
road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g.
when driving out of a garage. It is active at
speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) - following
which, the front camera is switched off.
From the 360° view, each camera view can
be activated separately:
If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph)
and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph)
within 1 minute after the forward-facing cam-
era has been extinguished, the camera is reac-
tivated.
Press the screen for the desired “field of
vision” of the camera, e.g. on the surface
in front of/above the front camera.
•
The backwards-facing camera is fitted above the reg-
istration plate.
The backward-facing camera shows a wide
area behind the car. For certain models, part
of the bumper can be seen as well as the tow-
bar in some cases.

Park assist lines for park assist
camera*
The Park assist cameras (PAC118) indicate the
position of the car in relation to its surround-
ings by displaying lines on the screen.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were at ground level behind the car and
respond directly to steering wheel move-
ments, showing the driver the path the car will
take - also when the car is turning.
These park assist lines include the car's most
protruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors and
corners.
The side cameras are positioned in each door mirror.
When reversing with a trailer which is
not connected electrically to the car,
the park assist lines on the display
show the route the car will take – not
the trailer.
•
The side cameras can show what is along
each side of the car.

Remember, that with the rear camera
view selected, the monitor only dis-
plays the area behind the car. Be
aware of the sides and front of the car
when manoeuvring in reverse.
•
The same applies vice versa - note
what happens to the rear parts of the
car when the front camera view is
selected.
•
•
Note that the park assist lines show
the shortest route. Therefore, pay extra
attention to the car's sides so that they
do not go against/over something
when the steering wheel is turned
when driving forward or that the front
sweeps against/over something when
the steering wheel is turned when
reversing.
360° view with park assist lines
With the 360° view, park assist lines are
shown behind, in front of and at the side of the
car (depending on the direction of travel):
When driving forwards: Front lines
•
•
When reversing: Side lines and reversing
lines
With front or rear camera selected, the park
assist lines appear regardless of the car's
direction of travel.
Towbar with park assist line
Towbar - activates the towbar assist line.
Zoom - zoom in/out.
With one side camera selected, the park assist
lines only appear when reversing.
The camera can facilitate connecting up to a
trailer by showing an assist line representing
the towbar's intended "path" to the trailer.

Activate park assist camera
Automatic deactivation of camera
The front view extinguishes at 25 km/h
(16 mph) to avoid distracting the driver – it
reactivates automatically if the speed drops to
22 km/h (14 mph) within 1 minute, on the con-
dition that the speed has not exceeded
50 km/h (31 mph).
The park assist camera (PAC121) is activated
automatically when reverse gear is engaged
or manually with one of the centre display's
function buttons.
Camera view when reversing
When reverse gear is engaged, the screen
shows the 360° view if it or any of the side
views was the last used camera view, other-
wise the rear view is shown.
Other camera views are extinguished at
15 km/h (9 mph) and not reactivated.
