Area View shows the entire vehicle surroundings in real time. This function can help you to detect obstacles at an  
early stage in confusing situations.

The Area View functions and displays may differ depending on the vehicle equipment, for example, if Park Distance  
Control is available and is also displayed.

within the system limits. If this is not observed, this can result in accidents, serious injuries and also damage to the  
vehicle.
