The functions described below make the rear view camera even more effective.

They are activated only when the tailgate is fully closed.

Track lines

Track lines are superimposed on the camera image and help to more accurately assess the maneuvering space when parking on a level road.

Линии колеи зависят от угла поворота рулевого колеса и постоянно изменяются вместе

The track lines depend on the steering wheel angle and change constantly with it.

Turning radius lines

Static turning radius lines are superimposed on the camera image and show the vehicle's minimum turning radius on a level road.

Парковка по линиям колеи и радиуса поворота

Parking using track lines and turning radius lines

1. Position the vehicle so that the turning radius lines are within the free space.

2. Поверните руль так, чтобы линии колеи перекрывали соответствующие линии радиуса

2. Turn the steering wheel so that the track lines overlap the corresponding turning radius lines.

При таком повороте руля движение задним ходом осуществляется по минимальному

With the steering wheel turned in this way, reversing takes place along the minimum turning radius.

Virtual camera tilt

The camera's field of view depends on the driving speed:

at low speed, the camera lens is directed toward the road surface, and at higher speed, toward the horizon.

This allows the image to be shown enlarged on the control display.

To activate virtual camera tilt, select "Camera picture on full screen", see Display.

Towing hitch approach

When it is necessary to hitch a trailer, this function enlarges the image of the towing hitch so that it is easier to monitor the approach to the trailer.

The distance between the trailer and the towing hitch can be conveniently estimated using the static guide lines. The marks on the lines indicate intervals of 20 cm or 10 cm.

The coupling line, which depends on the steering wheel angle, helps to accurately align the towing hitch with the trailer.

The approach function can be activated while the rear view camera is on. It switches off when the speed exceeds 7 km/h.

Distance markers for obstacles

Three-dimensional markers are superimposed on the rear view camera image, with a color gradation corresponding to the PDC markers. These markers help to estimate the distance to an object.

Индикация меток отключается, когда скорость движения задним ходом приближается

The marker display switches off when the reversing speed approaches 20 km/h.
