Technology for comfort, convenience and safety

Parking using pathway and turning
circle lines

Position the vehicle so that the turning lines
guide within the limits of the parking space.

Turn the steering wheel so that the pathway
lines cover the corresponding turning lines.

This results in a steering wheel position that
makes full use of the smallest possible turning
circle of the vehicle when parking.

Virtual camera panning

The displayed picture area is dependent on the
current speed:
At low speeds, the camera view is panned
toward the street, and at higher speeds toward
the horizon.
This enables the currently relevant picture area
to be shown enlarged on the Control Display.
To activate the virtual camera panning, select
the camera view "Camera view: full screen",
refer to Displays on page

Obstacle marking

Spatially shaped markings are shown in the pic-
ture of the rear view camera. Their stepped col-
ors correspond to the markings of the Park Dis-
tance Control and support you in estimating the
distance to the object shown.

The obstacle marking is deactivated when driv-
ing in reverse from approx. 12 mph/20 km/h.
