Side View
The concept
Side View provides an early look at cross traffic
at blind driveways and intersections. Road
users concealed by obstacles to the left and
right of the vehicle can only be detected rela‐
tively late from the driver's seat. To improve
visibility, two cameras in the front of the vehi‐
cle record the traffic situation on each side.
Two cameras integrated in the bumpers cap‐
ture the image.
Hints
The two camera lenses are located on the
sides of the bumper.
The images from both cameras are shown si‐
multaneously on the Control Display.
The image quality may be impaired by dirt.
Clean the camera lenses, refer to page 236.
Check the traffic situation as well
Check the traffic situation around the ve‐
hicle on blind driveways and intersections with
your own eyes. Otherwise, an accident could
result from road users or objects located out‐
side the picture area of the Side View cam‐
eras.◀
