Function of the 360° Camera

The 360° Camera is a system that consists of four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate vehicle surroundings. The system assists you when you are parking or at exits with reduced visibility, for example.

The views of the 360° Camera are always available when driving forwards up to a speed of approx. 16 km/h and 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.

The system evaluates images from the following cameras:

  • Reversing camera

  • Front camera

  • Two side cameras in the outside mirrors

You can open the cover of the reversing camera manually More.

Warning display of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Your vehicle from above
The colour of the individual segments of warning display is based on the distance to the detected obstacle:

  • 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.

Guide lines
Yellow lane marking the course the tyres will take at the current steering wheel angle (dynamic)
Yellow guide line, vehicle width (driven surface) depending on the current steering wheel angle (dynamic)
Red guide line at a distance of approximately 0.3 m from the rear area
Mark at a distance of approx. 1.0 m

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.

Trailer view (vehicles with a trailer hitch)

If you select trailer view and no trailer is coupled to the vehicle, the following display appears:

Yellow guide line, locating aid
Red guide line at a distance of approximately 0.3 m from the ball head of the trailer hitch
Ball head of the trailer hitch

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.

System limits
The 360° Camera will not function or will only partially function in the following situations:

  • The doors are open.

  • The outside mirrors are folded in.

  • The tailgate is open.

  • There is heavy rain, snow or fog.

  • The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.

  • Cameras, or vehicle components in which the cameras are fitted, are damaged, dirty or covered. Observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras More.

Do not use the 360° Camera under such circumstances. You could otherwise injure others or collide with objects when parking the vehicle.

For technical reasons, the standard height of the vehicle may be altered if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load and can result in inaccuracies in the guide lines and in the display of the generated images.

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.

See the notes on cleaning the 360° Camera More.
