Reversing camera

General notes

:

Reversing camera

Reversing camera : is an optical parking

and manoeuvring aid. It shows the area

behind your vehicle in the COMAND display.

The reversing camera is located in the handle

strip of the boot lid.

Important safety notes

The reversing camera is only an aid. It is not

a substitute for your attention to the imme-

diate surroundings. The responsibility for safe

manoeuvring and parking remains with you.

Make sure that there are no persons, animals

or objects in range while manoeuvring and

parking.

Under the following circumstances, the

reversing camera will not function, or will

function in a limited manner:

R

if the boot lid is open

R

in heavy rain, snow or fog

R

at night or in very dark places

R

if the camera is exposed to very bright light

R

if the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED

lighting (the display may flicker)

R

if there is a sudden change in temperature,

e.g. when driving into a heated garage in

winter

R

if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed

R

if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In

this case, have the camera 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 vehi-

cle (e.g. licence plate holder, bicycle rack).

View through the camera

The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a

mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.

The reversing camera may show a distorted

view of obstacles or show them incorrectly or

not at all. Obstacles are not shown by the

reversing camera in the following locations:

R

very close to the rear bumper

R

under the rear bumper

R

in the area immediately above the tailgate

handle

!

Objects not at ground level may appear to

be further away than they actually are, e.g.:

R

the bumper of a parked vehicle

R

the drawbar of a trailer

R

the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch

R
