Driver assistance functions
The following functions can improve the effect
of the backup camera depending on the situa-
tion.
They can only be activated when the tailgates
are completely closed.
Lane lines
The lane lines are shown in the picture of the
backup camera. They help you to estimate the
space required when parking and maneuvering
on level roads.
To estimate the space required, turn the steer-
ing wheel so that the lane lines guide into the
parking space or the maneuvering area you
have chosen.
The lane lines are dependent on the current
steering angle and are continuously adjusted to
the steering wheel movements.
Turning circle lines
The static turning circle lines are displayed in
the picture of the backup camera and show you
the course of the smallest possible turning cir-
cle on level roads.
Using lane and turning circle lines
1. Position the vehicle so that the turning cir-
cle line guide within the limits of the parking
space.
2. Turn the steering wheel so that the lane
lines cover the corresponding turning circle
line.
This results in a steering wheel adjustment that
makes full use of the smallest possible turning
circle of the vehicle when parking.
Virtual camera pan
The picture area is dependent on the current
speed:
At low speeds, the camera view is panned
toward the street, and at higher speeds toward
the horizon.
This enables the currently relevant picture area
to be shown enlarged on the Control Display.
To activate the virtual camera pan, select the
camera view "Camera view: full screen".
Obstacle marking
Spatially shaped markings are shown in the pic-
ture of the backup camera. Their stepped col-
ors correspond to the markings of the Park Dis-
tance Control and support you in estimating the
distance to the object shown.
The obstacle marking is deactivated when driv-
ing in reverse from approx. 12 mph/20 km/h.
