A warning tone sounds. The parking symbol

disappears and the multifunction display

shows the Park Assist cancelled mes-

sage.

When Active Parking Assist is cancelled, you

must steer again yourself.

Towing a trailer

For vehicles with a trailer tow hitch, the min-

imum required length for parking spaces is

slightly increased.

If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,

you should not use Active Parking Assist.

Once the electrical connection is established

between your vehicle and the trailer, Active

Parking Assist is no longer available. PARK-

TRONIC is deactivated for the rear area.

Reversing camera

General notes

Reversing camera : is in the boot lid handle.

The reversing camera is an optical parking

and manoeuvring aid. It uses guide lines to

show the area behind your vehicle in the

Audio/COMAND display.

The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a

mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.

The reversing camera is protected from rain-

drops and dust by means of a flap. When the

reversing camera is activated, this flap opens.

Only once the manoeuvring process has been

completed and the reversing camera has

switched off does the flap close again. For

technical reasons, the flap may remain open

briefly after the reversing camera has been

deactivated. If you switch off the engine, the

flap will also close.

i

The text of messages shown in the

COMAND display depends on the language

setting. The following are examples of

reversing camera messages in the

COMAND display.

Observe the notes on cleaning

(Y page 291).

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 tailgate 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

this case, have the camera position and

setting checked at a qualified specialist

workshop.
