130 Parking system
Rearview camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by
the rearview camera
r=> fig. 153 (J). Objects
that are not in the area covered @ are not
shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with
the rearview camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys-
tem, the orientation lines, and their function.
When doing this, there should be good light
and weathe r condi t ions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an incline, or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward pro-
truding objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces diminishes if:
- the rearview camera does not provide a reli-
able image, for example, in poor visibility
conditions or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun glare and reflection .
Caring for the rearview camera lens
The rearview camera is located above the rear
license plate bracket . For the parking system
to operate, the lens r=> fig . 154 must be kept
clean:
- Dampen the lens with a household alcohol-
based glass cleaner, and then wipe the lens
clean with a dry cloth
r=>0 .
- Remove snow with a hand brush and ice
preferably with a de-icing spray r=>0 .
A WARNING
- The parking system cannot replace the
driver's attention . The driver alone is re-
sponsible for parking and similar driving
maneuvers .
-
- Sensors have blind spots in which objects
cannot be detected. Pay special attention
to small children and animals because
the sensors cannot always detect them .
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's
surroundings, using the rearview mirror
as well.
- Do not allow yourself to be distracted
from traffic by the rearview camera pic-
tures.
- If the position and the installation angle
of the camera has changed, for example,
after a rear end collision, do not continue
to use the system for safety reasons .
Have it checked by a qualified dealership.
Q) Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a
warning can disappear from the system's
detection range as they are approached
and will not continue to be signaled. Ob-
jects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, thin painted vertical poles or fen-
ces may not be detected by the system,
posing risk of damage.
- Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow or ice from the rearview camera
lens - this could cause the lens to crack!
- When cleaning the lens, never use prod-
ucts that are abrasive.
