maneuvering aid. It shows the area behind
your vehicle with guide lines in the multimedia

The text shown in the multimedia system
display depends on the language setting.
The following are examples of rear view
camera displays in the multimedia system.
Important safety notes
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects
in the maneuvering area when you are maneu-
vering or parking.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
R
if the trunk lid is open
R
in heavy rain, snow or fog
R
at night or in very dark places
R
if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R
if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R
if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
R
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 250)
R
if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
The field of vision and other functions of the
rear view camera may be restricted due to
additional accessories on the rear of the vehi-
cle (e.g. license plate holder, bicycle rack).
On vehicles with height-adjustable chassis,
leaving the standard height can result in inac-
curacies in the guide lines, depending on tech-
nical conditions.
i
The contrast of the display may be affec-
ted by the sudden presence of sunlight or
other light sources, e.g. when exiting a
garage. Pay particular attention in this situa-
tion.
i
If usability is severely restricted, e.g. due
to pixel errors, have the display repaired or
replaced.
i
The rear view camera is protected from
raindrops and dust by means of a flap. When
the rear view camera is activated, this flap
opens.
The flap closes again when:
R
you have finished the maneuvering proc-
ess
R
you switch off the engine
R
you open the trunk
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 250).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the rear view camera has
been deactivated.
