WARNING Risk of accident because
ve hicle le vel is too high
If yo u drive at a higher vehicle le vel,th e driv‐
ing characteristics may be impaired due to
th e higher vehicle centre of gravity.
The vehicle may tip over more quickly on a
bend, forex ample. #
Alw ays select as low a vehicle le vel as
possible and adapt your driving style
accordin gly. &
WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐
cle lo wering

between theve hicle body and the tyres or
underneath theve hicle. #
Make sure no one is underneath the

Sy stem limitations
The 360° Camera will not function or will only
partially function in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth e doors are open.
R The side mir rors are folded in.
R Ifth e boot lid or tailgate is open.
R There is heavy rain, snow or fog.

ha ve the camera position and setting
ch ecked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° Camera under such circum‐
st ances. You could otherwise injure others or
collide with objects when parking theve hicle. On
vehicles with height-adjus table suspension or
if th eve hicle is car rying a heavy load, leaving the
st andard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of thege nerated
ima ges, depending on tech nical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the
came rasystem may be restricted due toaddi‐
tional accesso ries on there ar of theve hicle (e.g.
