Controls in detail Driving systems G Warning! Make sure no persons or animals are in or near the area in which you are parking/ maneuvering. Otherwise, they could be injured. G Warning! The rear view camera is a supplement system. It is not intended to, nor does it replace, the need for extreme care. The responsibility during parking and other driving maneuvers always remains with the driver. The rear view camera may show obstacles with a distorted perspective, incorrectly or not at all. Special attention must be paid to objects outside of the camera's field of view such as those located very close to or below the rear bumper, or above the recessed grip of the luggage compartment lid. Such objects may not be detected by the system and can damage the vehicle. The rear view camera does not warn you about impending collisions with objects. The driver is always responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to the immediate surroundings while parking or maneuvering the vehicle. This applies not only to the area behind the vehicle, but also to the area in front of and to the sides of the vehicle. Failure to do so could result in injury to persons and/or damage to the vehicle or other property. We also recommend that the driver uses the Parktronic system, Park Assist, or Advanced Parking Guidance when parking or maneuvering the vehicle. 1 Rear view camera View through the rear view camera i The image from the rear view camera is shown mirror-inverted on the COMAND system display. G Warning! 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. G Warning! The rear view camera either will not function or will not function to its full capability if Rthe trunk lid is open or not completely closed Rit is raining or snowing heavily, or if there is thick fog Rin a very dark area Rthe camera is exposed to a very bright white light (white stripes may appear on the COMAND system display) Rthe immediate surroundings are illuminated with fluorescent light (the COMAND system display can flicker) 378
