Rear view camera*
Warning!
G
The rear view camera is only an aid and may
display obstacles from a distorted perspec-
tive or inaccurately, or may not display ob-
stacles at all. The rear view camera does not
relieve you of the responsibility to be cau-
tious, take care and pay careful attention.
The rear view camera may not show objects
which are:
ț very close to the rear bumper
ț under the rear bumper
ț above the tailgate handle
You are responsible for safety at all times
and must continue to pay attention to the
immediate surroundings when parking and
maneuvering. This includes the area behind,
in front of and beside the vehicle. Otherwise
you could endanger yourself or others.
Warning!
G
Make sure that no persons or animals are in
or near the area in which you are
parking/maneuvering. Otherwise, they
could be injured.
Warning!
G
The rear view camera either will not function
or will not function to its full capability if:
ț the tailgate is open
ț it is raining very hard, snowing or foggy
ț it is night or you are parking/maneuver-
ing your vehicle in an area where it is
very dark
ț the camera is exposed to a very bright
white light
ț the immediate surroundings are illumi-
nated with fluorescent light (the display
may flicker)
ț there is a sudden change in tempera-
ture, e.g. if you drive into a heated ga-
rage from the cold (lens condensation)
ț the camera lens is dirty or covered
ț the rear of your vehicle is damaged
In this case, have the position and set-
ting of the camera checked by a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
visit a Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center for this purpose.
Do not use the rear view camera in these sit-
uations. Otherwise you could injure yourself
or others and/or damage property including
