Parking aid
Rearview cam era coverage area
The MMI d isplay shows the area covered by the
rearview camera
c:> fig . 142 @ . Objects that are
not in the area covered @ are not shown on the
MMI disp lay.
We recommend th at you pract ice pa rking with
the rearview camera in a traffic-free location or
parking lot to become familiar with the system,
the orientation lines, and their function . When
doing this, there should be good light and weath-
er cond itions .
In the MMI disp lay, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse ge ar from a level su r-
face onto an incline, or a downward s lope,
- you are d riving in reverse gea r toward protr ud-
ing obje cts,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces d imin ishes if:
- the rearv iew camera does not provide a reliab le
image, for example, in poor visibility cond itions
or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visib le due to
sun glare and reflection .
Caring for the rearview camer a lens
The rearview camera is located above the rear li-
cense plate bracket. For the parking system to
operate, the lens

based glass cleaner, and then wipe the lens
