System limits
The r

partially function in the following situations:
= The tailgate is open.
= There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
= The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.
= Cameras, or vehicle components in which the
cameras are Ntted, are damaged, dirty or cov-
ered. Observe the information on vehicle sen-
sors and cameras (  page 201).
% Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situations. Y

ou could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.
% The contrast of the display may be impaired
b

y direct sunlight or by other light sources,
e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this case,
pay particular attention.
% Have the display repaired or replaced if,

its use. 360° Camera
Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camer

a 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 driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 16 km/h and when reversing.
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. The responsi-
bility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area
while manoeuvring and parking.
The system evaluates images from the following
cameras:
= Reversing camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors %
You can open the cover of the reversing cam-
er
a manually (  page 243).

Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
P

arking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system with ultrasound. It monitors
the area around your vehicle using multiple sen-
sors on the front bumper and on the rear bumper.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC shows you the dis-
tance between your vehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
0.3 m to an obstacle in front and approximately
1.0 m to an obstacle behind. A continuous warn-
ing tone sounds from a distance of approximately Driving and parking
243

0.2 m. Using the
Warn early all-round se tting in
the multimedia system, the warning tones for
front and side impact protection can be set to
sound at a greater distance of approximately
1.0 m in front and 0.6 m on the sides
(  page 247).
% The Warn early all-round se
tting is always
active in the rear of the vehicle.

tacle is detected in the path of
travel, a PARKTRONIC Parking Assist pop-up win-
dow is displayed in the multimedia system at
speeds below 10 km/h mph 1.
The colour 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. 0.6 m and 1.0 m
= Orange segments: obstacles at a distance
between approx. 0.3 m and 0.6 m =

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily
take into account the following obstacles:
= Obstacles below the detection range, e.g. per-

Driving and parking

=
Obs tacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of lorries.
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 201).
Vehicles with trailer hitch: Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear zone
when you establish an electrical connection
between your vehicle and a trailer. Problems with Parking Assist PARKTRONIC Example: vehicles with 360° Camera
When rear segments 1 or all-r
ound segments
2 light up red and the

is issued and the segments light up in colour in
t
he display.
The segment colour changes depending on the
distance to the detected obstacle:
= Yellow: approximately 30 - 60 cm
= Red: less than approximately 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's length. Once the vehicle
has travelled the length of the vehicle, all of the
lateral front and rear segments can be displayed. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display: vehicles
