Function of the front camera and reversing camera

The front camera and reversing camera help you to orient yourself, and they help you to avoid obstacles when manoeuvring.

When automatic operation of the reversing camera is activated in the multimedia system, the image from the reversing camera is displayed automatically when reverse gear is selected More.

The front camera view can be called up using button or using the softkeys in the multimedia system.

You can also switch between the front camera and reversing camera views using the AMG steering-wheel buttons More.

If the reversing camera is active and you shift from reverse gear to the drive position, the view automatically switches from the reversing camera to the front camera.

The front camera and reversing camera are only an aid. They are 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.

The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a mirror image, as in the inside rearview mirror.

You can switch between various views in the multimedia system, not just between the front camera and reversing camera.
