Function of the 360° Camera

The system consists of four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate vehicle surroundings. The system assists you, for example, when parking or at exits with reduced visibility.

The 360° Camera is only an aid. It is not a substitute for you paying attention to the surroundings. You are always responsible for safe manoeuvring and parking. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects etc. in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in parking spaces.

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 use the softkeys located below or to the side to choose between the following views:

View with softkeys located at the bottom
Wide-angle view, front
Top view with image from the front camera
Top view with the image from the forward-facing side cameras (front wheel view)
Wide-angle view, rear
Top view with image from the reversing camera
Top view with the image from the rearward-facing side cameras (rear wheel view)
Top view with trailer view (vehicles with a trailer hitch)

Path indicating the route the vehicle will take with the steering wheel in its current position
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. 0.4 m and 1.0 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 currently active side are indicated using thin, yellow lines.

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

The guide lines in the media display show the distances to your vehicle. The distances apply at road level.

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

Trailer view (vehicles with a trailer hitch)

The trailer view displays the trailer hitch ball head and a locating guide for manoeuvring.

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

  • if the doors or tailgate are open

  • if the side mirrors are folded in

  • if there is heavy rain, snow or fog

  • if the light conditions are poor, e.g. at night

  • if the cameras are exposed to very bright light, white lines may appear in the camera image

  • if the area is illuminated with fluorescent lighting (the media display may flicker)

  • if the temperature changes very quickly, for example, if you drive out of the cold into a heated garage in the winter

  • if the ambient temperature is very high

  • if the camera lens is covered, dirty or misted up.

  • if cameras, or vehicle components in which the cameras are fitted, are damaged. 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 the vehicle.

Have the media display repaired or replaced if, for example, pixel errors considerably restrict its use.

If you change wheel size on your vehicle, check it is assigned to the correct wheel size category More. If the assignment changes without recoding the control units in the vehicle, the 360° Camera cannot calibrate properly. The guide lines at road level or at the level of the trailer coupling will then not be displayed correctly.

See the notes on cleaning the 360° Camera More.
