WARNING WARNING

Use of rear view camera can be dangerous if you are color-blind or have impaired color vision.

Only use rear view camera if you can see and distinguish all colored guidelines shown by rear view camera on the COMAND system display.

WARNING WARNING

Please note that objects that do not touch the ground may appear to be further away than they actually are, for example:

  • the bumper of a vehicle parked behind you
  • the trailer drawbar
  • the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
  • the rear end of a truck
  • a slanted post

In such cases, you should not use the guide lines to judge the distance. You may misjudge the distance, which increases the risk of impacting the objects.

Even if the object you approach is directly on the ground, do not approach the object any closer than the red guide line.
