Top View*

The concept

Top View assists you when parking and maneu-
vering. To accomplish this, the door region and
road surface region are shown on the Control
Display.

Detection

Detection is carried out by two cameras inte-
grated into the exterior mirror and the rear view
camera.
The range is:

>

approx. 7 ft/2 m to the side

>

approx. 7 ft/2 m to the rear

Obstacles up to the height of the exterior mir-
rors are thus detected in a timely fashion.

System limitations

In the following situations, the function of
Top View is limited:

>

when a door is open

>

when the liftgate is open

>

when the exterior mirrors are folded in

>

under poor lighting conditions

The arrows next to the vehicle are displayed in a
shaded form on the Control Display and a sym-
bol appears at the corresponding location on
the vehicle.

Also make a direct visual check of the
traffic situation around the vehicle. Other-

wise, there could be a risk of accident, for exam-
ple due to other road users or objects outside
the image range of the camera.
