The 360° Camera is a system that consists of four cameras which cover the immediate surroundings of the vehicle. The cameras assist you when you are parking, for example, or at exits with reduced visibility.
If the function is activated, the image from the reversing camera is automatically displayed in the central display when reverse gear is selected More.
Reversing camera
Front camera
Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
The cameras are only an aid and may show a distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not show them at all. They are 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.
In all views, the Parking Assist PARKTRONIC warning display is shown More.
When Active Parking Assist is active, lanes and guide lines are displayed in green instead of yellow More.
If the function is activated, the image from the reversing camera is automatically displayed in the central display when reverse gear is selected More.
Due to the projection of the cameras, objects in the 3D views may be severely distorted when displayed or not displayed at all.
In the 3D view, left-/right-hand side of the vehicle, the virtual camera moves to the respective side of the vehicle. When you change the transmission position, the view is automatically adapted.
The area behind the vehicle is not displayed as a mirror image as is usual in the 3D views.
In the 3D auto view, the virtual camera moves to the standard perspective, facing forward from the rear above the roof. The view changes automatically when approaching obstacles.
If you touch the touchscreen, the view changes to 3D view with free rotation. You can turn, tilt and zoom the views by touch.
If the system is not ready for operation, the System inoperative message appears in the central display.
You are driving forwards at a speed greater than approximately 16 km/h.
The doors are open.
An outside mirror is not completely folded out.
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.
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 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 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.
