Rear view camera*
The concept
The rear view camera in the liftgate displays the 
area behind your vehicle on the Control Display.
Also check the traffic situation around the 
vehicle during parking and maneuvering 
with direct vision, as otherwise danger of an 
accident could result, for example, from road 
users or objects located outside the picture 
area of the rear view camera.

Driver assistance functions
The following functions can improve the effect

tion.
They can only be activated when the liftgate is 
completely closed.
Pathway lines
The pathway lines are shown in the picture of 
the rear view camera. They help you to estimate 
the space required when parking and maneu-
vering on level roads.
The pathway lines are dependent on the current 
steering angle and are continuously adjusted to 
the steering wheel movements.
Turning lines
The static turning lines are displayed in the pic-
ture of the rear view camera and show you the 
course of the smallest possible turning circle on 
level roads.
