Controls in detail Driving systems Dynamic Rear View Monitor* The Dynamic Rear View Monitor is an electronic and visual parking aid. It shows you the area behind the vehicle on the COMAND display. In addition, the Dynamic Rear View Monitor contains guide lines to help you with reverse parking (back-in parking) and parallel parking. The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a reverse-mirror image similar to the view in a rear-view mirror. Warning! 1 Dynamic Rear View Monitor View through the camera The Dynamic Rear View Monitor is in the handle strip of the trunk lid. G i The image from the Dynamic Rear View Monitor is shown on the COMAND display ( page 31). Please note that objects which do not touch the ground, such as the bumper of a vehicle parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or the back of a truck, may appear to be further away than they actually are. In this case, you should not use the guide lines to judge distance. The use of the guide lines to judge distance increases the risk of impacting the objects. 413
