Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camer

a is a system that consists of
four cameras which cover the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The cameras assist you
when you are parking, forexample, or at exits with
reduced visibility.
If you have activated the function, the image from
the reversing camera is automatically displayed in the central display when reverse gear is selected
(  pag

e 313).
The 360° Camera includes the following cameras
and evaluates their images:
= Reversing camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
The cameras are only an aid and may show a dis-
torted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or
not show them at all. They are 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. 308

Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
P

arking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system which monitors the area
surrounding your vehicle and shows you the dis-
tance between the vehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the side. These must be detected
beforehand by the sensors in the front or rear
bumper while driving by them. If you steer in the
direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk
of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The pas- sive side impact protection can be activated and
deactiv

ated via the multimedia system.
In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to
be displayed, the vehicle must Nrst travel a dis-
tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.
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. Displays in the central display Vehicles with 360° Camera

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is opera-
tional, t
he respective areas of the display are
shown in blue.
1 Operational, front and rear
2 Operational, all around
3 Operational, all around and obstacle detected
The colour of the display changes depending on
t
he distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 1 m (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approx. 1 m - 0.7 m
= Orange: approx. 0.7 m - 0.4 m
= Red: < 0.4 m
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line
shiss dynamically depending on the position and
distance of the obstacles detected.
Depending on the distance to the obstacle detec-
ted, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You
can set the timing of the warnings in the multime-
dia system. In the Warn early setting, the system
warns you from a distance of 1 m, in the standard
setting only from 0.4 m. Vehicles with 360° Camera Vehicles with reversing camera
If you are not in the Camera & parking menu and
an obs
tacle in the vehicle path is detected, pop-

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. =
Obs
tacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of lorries.
= Pedestrians or animals approaching the vehi-
cle from the side.
= Objects placed next to the vehicle
Obstacles on the sides are not shown in the fol-
lowing situations, for example: = You park the vehicle and switch it oM.
= You open the doors.
Aser the engine is restarted, obstacles must be
detected again by driving past them before a new
warning can be issued.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera (  page 306)
= 360° camera ( page 308)
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and
cameras; the system otherwise cannot function
