360° camera
General notes The 360° camera is a system consisting of four
cameras.
The system processes images from the follow-
ing cameras: R
Rear view camera R
Front camera R
Two side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras cover the immediate surroundings
of the vehicle. The system supports you, for
example when parking or if vision is restricted at
an exit.
You can show images from the 360° camera in
full-screen mode or in seven different split-
screen views on the multimedia system. A split-
screen view also includes a top view of the vehi-
cle. This view is calculated from the data sup-
plied by the installed cameras (virtual camera).
The seven split-screen views are: R
Top view and picture from the rear view cam-
era (130° viewing angle) R
Top view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle) R
Top view and enlarged rear view R
Top view and enlarged front view R
Top view and trailer view (vehicles with trailer
tow hitch) R
Top view and images from the rear-facing side
cameras (rear wheel view) R
Top view and images from the forward-facing
side cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from [ or ^ to \\ , the guide
lines are hidden in the multimedia system.
When you change between transmission posi-
tions [ and ^ , you see the previously selec-
ted front or rear view.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will also
be optically displayed: R
in split screen view as red or yellow brackets
around the vehicle icon in the top view, or R
at the bottom right as red or yellow brackets
around the vehicle symbol in full-screen mode
The line thickness and color of the brackets
show how far the vehicle is from an object. R
yellow brackets with thin lines: PARKTRONIC
is active R
yellow brackets with normal lines: an object is
present in close range of the vehicle R
red line: an object is present in the immediate
close range of the vehicle
