Rear View Camera (Rear View)  
Introduction  
The Rear View Camera system in the  
rear of the vehicle makes it easier for  
the driver to see behind the vehicle and  
assists when parking.  
System function  
The Rear View Camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen. Depending on the mode and vehicle equipment, orientation  
lines may assist in the view toward the rear  
.
WARNING  
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.  
The PDC cannot replace the driver's attention.  
Brake the vehicle in good time before reaching an obstacle.  
The orientation lines superimposed on the camera image are shown by the system regardless of the vehicle's surroundings. There is no automatic obstacle  
detection by the camera while it is active. The driver must evaluate whether the vehicle will fit in the parking space.  
If a trailer is connected to the factory-installed trailer hitch, all orientation lines for the rear area are hidden in the camera image.  
If a camera is installed in the trunk lid, the orientation lines are also hidden if the trunk lid is open.  
USA and Canada: If the camera image on a parking system has been switched on by engaging the reverse gear, no function keys are displayed for safety reasons.  
These function keys can be displayed again by tapping the function key  
.
