Rear view camera

q Function of the rear view camera
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe maneuvering and park-
ing remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects etc., in the maneuver-ing area while maneuvering and parking.
\bThe area behind the vehicle is displayed as amirror image, as in the inside rearview mirror.
Vehicles without Parking Package
The following camera views are available in the
multimedia system:

Pedestrian braking function
\bThis function is available only in vehicles with-
out the Parking Package. Vehicles with theParking Package are equipped with maneuver- ing assistant functions (  page 237).
The pedestrian braking function can prevent colli-
sions with pedestrians when the vehicle is back-
ing up at slow speeds. If the rear view camera
detects a person in the vehicle path, the vehicle
can be braked to a standstill.
The pedestrian braking function can intervene
under the following conditions:
= The vehicle is backing up at a speed below
9 mph (15 km/h).
= The camera image is shown in the central dis-
play.
The function is automatically active when the rear
view camera is switched on and cannot be deacti-
vated separately .
If automatic braking is triggered, the following
symbol appears in red in the camera image:

\bIf the function is not available, the same sym-
bol appears in gray.
The pedestrian braking function is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround- ings. The responsibility for safe maneuvering andparking remains with you. Make sure that no per-
sons, animals or objects etc. are in the maneuver- ing range.
&WARNING Risk of accident caused by limi-
ted detection of the pedestrian braking function
The pedestrian braking function cannot always
clearly detect people. Other obstacles are not
detected by the function.
In these cases, the function may brake unnec-
essarily or not brake at all.
Always pay careful attention to the traPc
situation; do not rely on the pedestrian
braking function alone.Be ready to brake.Driving and parking221

In the following situations, the pedestrian braking
function is not available:
= on inclines
= if the rear view camera is not operational\bPlease also note the system limits of the rear

System limits
If the system is not ready for operation, the Sys-
tem Inoperative message appears in the central
display.
The 360° Camera will not function or will function
only partially in the following situations:
= You are driving forwards at a speed greater
than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
= The doors are open.
= An outside mirror is not completely folded out.
= The trunk lid is open.
= The weather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy
rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.
= The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night or if
light is shining into the camera.
= The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or fogged
up.
= If cameras or vehicle components in which the
cameras are installed are damaged. In this
event, have the cameras, their positions and their setting checked at a qualiNed specialist
workshop.\bDo not use the 360° Camera under such cir-
cumstances. You could otherwise injure oth-
ers or collide with objects when parking the vehicle.
For technical reasons, the standard height of thevehicle 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 Neld of vision and other functions of the cam-
era system may be restricted due to additional attachments on the vehicle (e.g. license plate
bracket, bicycle rack).
\bThe 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.\bHave the display repaired or replaced if, forexample, pixel errors considerably restrict
its use.
