View through the camera
The area behind the vehicle is displayed in a mirror-inverted manner, as in the rear-view mirror.
WARNING
The rear view camera is only an aid and may
display obstacles
- from a distorted perspective
- inaccurately
- may not display obstacles at all
The rear view camera does not relieve you of
the responsibility to be cautious. Take care
and pay careful attention. The rear view
camera may not show objects which are
- very close to the rear bumper
- under the rear bumper
- above the tailgate handle
You are responsible for safety at all times and
must continue to pay attention to the
immediate surroundings when parking and
maneuvering. This includes the area behind,
in front of, and beside the vehicle. Otherwise
you could endanger yourself and/or others.
WARNING
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
- the tailgate is open
- in heavy rain, snow or fog
- at night or in very dark places
- if the camera is exposed to very bright light
- if the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
- if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
- if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
- if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
this purpose.
Do not use the rear view camera in these
types of situation. You could otherwise injure
others or damage objects and your vehicle
while you are parking.
