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, e.g. when parking or at exits with reduced visibility.

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

You can also use the 360° Camera as an aid when driving off-road.

The 360° 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 system evaluates images from the following cameras:

  • Reversing camera

  • Front camera

  • Two side cameras in the outside mirrors

Views of the 360° Camera

You can select from different views:

Off-road view
Top view with image from the front camera
Top view with images from the side cameras in the outside mirrors
Wide-angle view, rear
Top view with image from the reversing camera
Top view with trailer view (vehicles with a trailer hitch)
Off-road view
Warning display
Your vehicle from above

In the off-road view, the surroundings are displayed in full screen for better orientation off-road. This way, the condition of the off-road section ahead can be better estimated and possible areas of danger avoided. Obstacles detected at a distance of approximately 1.0 m or less are displayed on vehicle using the coloured segments of warning display .

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

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.

If the system fails at the rear, the display of the segments changes as follows:

  • 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.

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, the lane markings are displayed in green.

The guide lines in the multimedia system display show the distances to your vehicle. The distances only apply to road level.

In trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the level of the trailer hitch.

When the differential locks are engaged, the guide lines are hidden.

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 side camera view .

This view supports manoeuvring procedures with a trailer.

Side view of the mirror cameras

The sides of the vehicle can be seen in this view.

System failure

If there is no operational readiness, the following message appears in the media display:

When G-Mode is activated and you drive faster than 16 km/h, the following message appears in the media display:

As soon as you drive slower than 16 km/h again, the image from the 360° Camera reappears.

If G-Mode is not activated and you drive faster than 16 km/h, the view of the 360° Camera is switched off and does not reappear automatically when you drive slower again.

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

  • The doors are open.

  • The side mirrors are folded in.

  • The rear-end door 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 or manoeuvring the vehicle.

For technical reasons, inaccuracies in the guide lines and in the display of the generated images may occur in the following situations:

  • If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load and leaves the standard height.

  • When the differential locks are engaged.

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.
