Object detection only works in wide-angle view.
To ensure that you can use the function, it mustbe switched on in the multimedia system (seethe Digital Operator's Manual).
360° Camera
General notes
The 360° camera is a system consisting of fourcameras.
The system processes images from the follow-ing cameras:
RRear view camera
RFront camera
RTwo side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras cover the immediate surroundingsof the vehicle. The system supports you, forexample when parking or if vision is restricted atan exit.
You can show images from the 360° camera infull-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:
RTop view and picture from the rear view cam-era (130° viewing angle)
RTop view and image from the front camera(130° viewing angle without displaying themaximum steering wheel angle)
RTop view and enlarged rear view
RTop view and enlarged front view
RTop view and trailer view (vehicles with trailertow hitch)
RTop view and images from the rear-facing sidecameras (rear wheel view)
RTop view and images from the forward-facingside cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift thetransmission from[or^to\\, the guidelines on the multimedia system are hidden.
When you shift between transmission positions[and^, you see the previously selected frontor rear view.
Distances measured by Parking AssistPARKTRONIC will also be optically displayed:
Rin split screen view as red or yellow bracketsaround the vehicle icon in the top view, or
Rat the bottom right as red or yellow bracketsaround the vehicle symbol in full-screen mode
The line thickness and color of the bracketsshow how far the vehicle is from an object.
Ryellow brackets with thin lines: Parking AssistPARKTRONIC is active
Ryellow brackets with normal lines: an object ispresent in close range of the vehicle
Rred line: an object is present in the immediateclose range of the vehicle
Important safety notes
The 360°camera is only an aid and may show adistorted view of obstacles, show them incor-rectly or not at all. The 360°camera is not asubstitute for attentive driving.
You are always responsible for safe maneuver-ing and parking. Make sure that there are nopersons, animals or objects in the maneuveringarea while maneuvering and parking in parkingspaces.
You are always responsible for safety, and mustalways pay attention to your surroundings whenparking and maneuvering. This applies to theareas behind, in front of and beside the vehicle.You could otherwise endanger yourself and oth-ers.
The 360° camera will not function or will func-tion in a limited manner:
Rif the doors are open
Rif the exterior mirrors are folded in
Rif the tailgate is open
Rin heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the cameras are exposed to very bright light
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LEDlighting (the display may flicker)
Rif the camera lenses fog up, e.g. when drivinginto a heated garage in winter, causing a rapidchange in temperature
Rif the camera lenses are dirty or covered
Rif the vehicle components in which the cam-eras are installed are damaged. In this case,have the camera position and setting checkedat a qualified specialist workshop

The camera system may show a distorted viewof obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all.Obstacles are not shown by the system in thefollowing locations:
Runder the front and rear bumpers
Rvery close to the front and rear bumpers
Rin the area immediately above the tailgatehandle
Rvery close to the exterior mirrors

XSwitch off the engine.
XClose the doors and tailgate.
XCouple up the trailer.
XEstablish the electrical connection betweenthe vehicle and the trailer.
XCheck that the trailer lighting system is work-ing.
XPush the combination switch upwards/down-wards and check whether the correspondingturn signal on the trailer flashes.
A trailer that is connected is recognized onlywhen the electrical connection is establishedcorrectly and when the lighting system is work-ing properly. The function of other systems alsodepends on this, for example:
RESP®
RPARKTRONIC
RActive Parking Assist
RActive Blind Spot Assist
RActive Lane Keeping Assist
Vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL: if you coupleup a trailer, the vehicle always remains at high-way level. Observe the following note when cou-pling up a trailer:
RUnless highway level has been set manually,the vehicle is automatically lowered to high-way level. If a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) hasbeen reached, this may be the case.
These restrictions apply to accessories that aresupplied with power via the trailer socket in yourvehicle, e.g. a rear bicycle rack.
Observe the maximum permissible trailerdimensions (width and length).
Most U.S. states and all Canadian provincesrequire by law:
RSafety chains between the towing vehicle andthe trailer. The chains should be cross-woundunder the trailer drawbar. They must be fas-tened to the vehicle's trailer coupling, not tothe bumper or the axle.
Leave enough play in the chains to make tightcornering possible.
RA separate brake system for certain types oftrailer.
RSafety switch for braked trailers. Check thespecific legal requirements applicable to yourstate.
If the trailer becomes detached from the tow-ing vehicle, the safety feature applies thetrailer brakes.
Towing a trailer
There are several legal requirements for towinga trailer, e.g. the maximum permissible speed.Make sure that your car/trailer combinationcomplies with the local regulations:
Rin your place of residence
Rat your destination
The police and local authorities can provide reli-able information.
To accumulate driving experience and accustomyourself to the new handling characteristics,practice the following at a location where thereis no traffic:
RCornering
RStopping
RBacking up
Check the following before the journey:
RTrailer tow hitch
RSafety switch for braked trailers
RSafety chains
RElectrical connections
RLighting system
RWheels and tires
RLoad securing
Adjust the exterior mirrors so that you have aclear view of the rear section of the trailer.
If the trailer is equipped with electronically con-trolled brakes, pull away carefully in the car/trailer combination. Brake manually using thebrake controller and check whether the brakesfunction correctly.
Regularly check that the load is secure.
When towing a trailer, your vehicle's handlingcharacteristics will be different in comparisonwith when driving without a trailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
Ris heavier
Ris restricted in its acceleration and gradient-climbing capability
Rhas an increased braking distance
Ris affected more by strong crosswinds
Rdemands more sensitive steering
Rhas a larger turning circle
Avoid sudden steering movements.
Avoid braking abruptly. If possible, brake gentlyat first to allow the trailer to run on. Then,increase the braking force rapidly.
