Functioning
The reversing camera system supports the driver during revers‐
ing by providing the driver with an image of the traffic situation
behind the vehicle on the radio/navigation system display. The
system is available as an option.
The system is activated when reverse gear is engaged, even if
the radio/navigation system is switched off.
The reversing camera system consists of the following compo‐
nents:
♦ Reversing camera -R189-
♦ Control unit with display unit for radio and navigation -J503-
♦ Steering wheel with steering angle sender -G85-
Note
Installation of an additional number plate carrier is not permissible
on vehicles with reversing camera system as this would impair
the function of the reversing camera. The light of the number plate
could also be impaired.
Fault detection and fault display
The reversing camera system is equipped with self-diagnosis.
For fault finding, use vehicle diagnosis, testing and information
system -VAS 5051B- in „Guided fault finding“ mode.
