Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: View through the camera
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a mirror image, 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
The rear view camera will not function or will
not fully function if:
• the tailgate is open
• it is raining or snowing strongly or
if it is
foggy
• it is night or if you are parking/
maneuvering your vehicle in a very dark
area
• a very bright white light is
affecting the
camera
• the immediate vicinity is
illuminated with
fluorescent light (the display can flicker)
• temperature changes abruptly, for
example
if you drive out of the cold into a heated
garage (condensation on the lens)
• the camera lens is dirty or
covered
• the rear of your vehicle is
damaged
In this case, have the position and the
setting of the camera checked at a
specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you consult a Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose.
