environment in real time. This function  
helps you recognize obstacles in good  
time in situations where there might be  
blind spots.

The system uses multiple cameras to create images of the vehicle environment, which are then displayed on the Infotainment system screen  
.
The functions and displays of the Area View may vary depending on the vehicle equipment, e.g. if Park Distance Control is available and is also displayed.

The intelligent technology of the Park Distance Control (PDC) cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and it can only operate within the limits of the  
system. Not paying attention can result in accidents, serious injuries and vehicle damage.
