The 360° Camera is a system that consists of four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate vehicle surroundings. The system assists you, e.g. when parking or at exits with reduced visibility.
Views from the 360° Camera are available for forward travel up to a speed of approx. 16 km/h and always available when reversing.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking.
Reversing camera
Front camera
Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
Yellow segments: obstacles at a distance between approx. 0.6 m and 1.0 m
Orange segments: obstacles at a distance between approx. 0.3 m and 0.6 m
Red segments: obstacles at a very short distance of approx. 0.3 m or less
When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is operational and no object is detected, the segments of the warning display are shown in grey.
If the entire system fails, the segments of the warning display are shown in red. The indicator lamp on the PARKTRONIC button lights up and the symbol appears in the multifunction display.
The rear segments are shown in red when reversing.
The rear segments are hidden when driving forwards.
If Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated, the warning display fades out More.
When Active Parking Assist is active, lane markings are displayed in green.
The guide lines in the media display show the distances to your vehicle. The distances apply to road level.
In trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the level of the trailer hitch.
If you select trailer view and no trailer is coupled to the vehicle, the following display appears:
When the electrical connection is established between the vehicle and the trailer, the display changes to the side camera view.
This view supports manoeuvring procedures with a trailer.
The sides of the vehicle can be seen in this view.
The doors are open.
The side mirrors are folded in.
The tailgate is open.
There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.
The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or misted up.
If cameras or vehicle components in which the cameras are fitted are damaged. In this event, have the cameras, their positions and their setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° Camera under such circumstances. You could otherwise injure others or collide with objects when parking the vehicle.
If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load, leaving the standard height can result in inaccuracies in the guide lines and in the display of the generated images, depending on technical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the camera system may be restricted due to additional attachments on the vehicle (e.g. licence plate bracket, bicycle rack).
The contrast of the display may be impaired by abrupt direct sunlight or by other light sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this case, pay particular attention.
Have the display repaired or replaced if, for example, pixel errors considerably restrict its use.
