System functions: Display
The exterior mirror cameras give support during parking and maneuvering. This is achieved by showing the vicinity of the doors and roadway around the vehicle on the central information display. The range is approximately two meters. The bumper cameras enable an early view of crossing traffic at exits and junctions with a poor viewing angle. Road users that are concealed by obstacles at the side are only detected later from the driver's seat. To improve the view, 2 cameras in the bumper pick up the traffic at the sides. The cameras are switched on via the center console control panel. The camera images are displayed in a split screen.
Brightness and contrast can also be adjusted when the camera is switched on. To do this, the desired symbol must be selected. The setting is made with the controller. The setting for the currently used remote key will be stored.
The system is automatically switched off above a speed of 15 km/h.

The rear view cameras provide support when parking backwards and maneuvering. To achieve this, the area behind the vehicle is shown on the central information display. The reversing camera is switched on via the center console control panel or automatically when engaging the reverse gear. Various assistance graphics in the form of overlays (lines and symbols) can be overlaid in the image of the camera. The assistance graphics can be enabled or disabled in the menu of the rear view camera.
The assistance graphics are:
- Maximum curve radii for the turning circle
- Marker lines for the lane
- Marking of obstacles
- View of the trailer tow hitch
Brightness and contrast can also be adjusted when the reversing camera is switched on. To do this, the desired symbol must be selected. The setting is made with the controller. The setting for the currently used remote key will be stored.
