360° camera

q Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate
vehicle surroundings. The system assists you when you are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when the vehicle is being driven forwards up
to a speed of approx. 10 mph (16 km/h) and
when it is being backed up.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. Responsibility
for safe maneuvering and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects etc., in the maneuvering area while
maneuvering and parking.
The system evaluates images from the following cameras:
= Rear view camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors\bYou can open the cover of the rear view cam-
era manually (  page 213).

parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu- vering area while maneuvering and parking in/
exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately 1.0 s (0.3 m) to an obstacle in front and approx-
imately 3.3 s (1.0 m) to an obstacle behind. A
continuous warning tone sounds from a distance
of approximately 0.7 s (0.2 m). Using the Warn
Early All Around setting in the multimedia system,
the warning tones for front and side impact pro-
tection can be set to sound at a greater distance
of approximately 3.3 s (1.0 m) in front and 2.0 s
(0.6 m) on the sides (  page 218).\bThe Warn Early All Around setting is always
active in the rear of the vehicle.Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display in the multi-

If you have not selected the menu Camera &
Parking and an obstacle is detected in the path of
travel, a PARKTRONIC Parking Assist pop-up win-
dow is displayed in the multimedia system at speeds below 6 (10 km/h) mph 1.
The color of the individual segments of the warn- ing display is based on the distance to the detec- ted obstacle:
= Yellow segments: obstacles at a distance
between approx. 2.0 s (0.6 m) and 3.3 s

Optionally, obstacles detected by Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC from a distance of approximately 3.3 s (1.0 m) in front 2 and 2.0 s (0.6 m) on the
sides 3 can also be displayed in the head-up dis-
play.
System limits
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily
take into account the following obstacles:
= Obstacles below the detection range, e.g. per-
sons, animals or objects.
= Obstacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of truck.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function correctly. Clean
the sensors regularly, especially aser driving oM-
road, taking care not to scratch or damage them
(  page 173).Problems with Parking Assist PARKTRONICExample: vehicles with 360° Camera
When rear segments 1 or all-round segments
2 light up red and the

If a warning tone also sounds for approximately
two seconds every time the vehicle is started, it
may be due to one of the following causes:
= The sensors are dirty: clean the sensors and
observe the notes on care of vehicle parts
(  page 290).
= Parking Assist PARKTRONIC has been deacti-
vated due to a malfunction: restart the vehi-
cle. If the problem persists, consult a qualiNed
specialist workshop.

q Function of the passive side impact protection
Passive side impact protection is an additional
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC function that warns the driver about obstacles at the side of the vehi-cle. A warning is issued when obstacles are
detected between the front and rear detection
range. In order for an object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear
bumper must Nrst detect the object while you are
driving past it.
During the parking procedure or maneuvering,
objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle
and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warningis issued and the segments light up in color on the display.
The segment color changes depending on the dis-
tance to the detected obstacle:
= Yellow: approximately 1.0 - 2.0 s (30 - 60 cm)
= Red: less than approximately 1.0 s (30 cm)
In order for lateral front or rear segments to be displayed, the vehicle must Nrst travel a distance
of at least half a vehicle\bs length. Once the vehicle has traveled the length of the vehicle, all of thelateral front and rear segments can be displayed.Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display: vehicles

Saved obstacles at the sides are deleted in the
following situations, for example:
= You park the vehicle and switch it oM.
= You open the doors.
Aser the engine is restarted, obstacles at the
sides must be detected again before a new warn-
ing can be issued.
System limits
The system limits for Parking Assist PARKTRONIC apply to passive side impact protection.
The following objects are not detected, for exam-
ple:
= Pedestrians who approach the vehicle from
the side
= Objects placed next to the vehicle

Active Parking Assist

qFunction of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with the assistance of the rear view camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forwards up to
approximately 22 mph (35 km/h), the system
automatically measures parking spaces on both
sides of the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist oMers the following func-
tions:
= Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
= Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to the
road (optionally either forwards or reverse)
= Exiting parking spaces if you have parked
using Active Parking Assist
As soon as all requirements are met for searching for parking spaces, the Ç display appears in
the Instrument Display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears in the Instru-
ment Display. The arrows show on which side of
the road detected parking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media display.
The parking space can be selected as desired.
Depending on the location of the parking space,
the parking direction (rearwards or forwards) can
also be selected as desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn signal indicators are activated based on the calcu-
lated path of your vehicle.
The parking procedure is assisted by accelerating, braking, steering and gear changes.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings.
Responsibility for safe maneuvering and parking
remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani- mals, objects, etc. are in the maneuvering range.218Driving and parking
