Function of the reversing camera

The reversing camera monitors the area behind your vehicle. If you have activated the function More, the image from the reversing camera is automatically displayed in the central display when reverse gear is engaged.

The reversing camera is only an aid. 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.

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

The reversing camera will not function or will only partially function in the following situations:
  • You are driving forwards at a speed greater than approximately 16 km/h.

  • The boot lid is open.

  • The weather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.

  • The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night or if light is shining into the camera.

  • The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or misted up. Observe the notes on cleaning the reversing camera More.

  • The camera or rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this case, have the camera and its position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

  • The detection range is limited by additional vehicle attachments at the rear, such as a licence plate bracket or bicycle rack.

Also observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras MoreMore.

Do not use the reversing camera in these types of situations. You could otherwise injure others or collide with objects when parking the vehicle.

The contrast of the display may be impaired by 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.
