Activation/deactivation
Read and observe and on page 143 first.
The system is automatically activated by selecting reverse gear or pressing
the symbol button
» Fig. 130 on page 143 . The symbol
lights up in the
button; activation is confirmed by a brief acoustic signal.
The system is deactivated by moving out of reverse gear, either by pressing
the symbol button
or automatically at a speed exceeding 10 km/h (the sym-
bol

On vehicles with Version 1, the system can only be deactivated by moving out
of reverse gear.
Fault display
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
also indicated by the symbol
flashing in the button. Seek help from a spe-
cialist garage.

WARNING
■
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
■
Make sure that the camera lens is not dirty or covered, otherwise the sys-
tem function can be significantly impaired. For information on clean-
ing » page 167, Camera lens
CAUTION
■
The camera lens distorts and enlarges the field of view of the difference in
eye sight. The display is therefore only of limited use for estimating distances
to following vehicles.
■
Some items, such as thin columns, chain link fences or lattice may not be
represented adequately in terms of display resolution.
■
It is only a two-dimensional display. Therefore, protruding objects or roadway
depressions, for example, may not be recognised due to lack of space depth.
■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.
