Function of the reversing camera

If you have activated the function in the multimedia system, the image from reversing camera is displayed in the multimedia system when reverse gear is selected. Dynamic guide lines show the path the vehicle will take with the steering wheel in its current position. This helps you to orient yourself and to avoid obstacles when reversing.

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 in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in parking spaces.

You can select from the following views:

  • Normal view

  • Wide-angle view

  • Trailer view

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

System limitations
The reversing camera will not function or will only partially function in the following situations:

  • If the boot lid or 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. 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 field of vision and other functions of the reversing camera may be restricted due to additional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g. licence plate bracket or bicycle rack).

The display contrast may be impaired due to incident sunlight or other light sources. In this case, pay particular attention.

If the display operation is considerably impaired due to pixel errors, for example, have the display repaired or replaced.
