Rear view camera

Safety notes

Objects that are not at ground level appear further away than they actually are, for example:

the bumper of the vehicle parked behind

the drawbar of a trailer

the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch

the tail-end of a truck

slanted posts

Only use the camera guide lines for orientation. Do not get any closer to objects than the lowest horizontal guide line. You may otherwise damage your vehicle and/or the object.

The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot replace your own awareness of the immediate surroundings. You are responsible for safe maneuvering and parking. When maneuvering and parking, make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the maneuvering area.

Under the following circumstances, the rear view camera will not function, or will function in a limited manner:

there is very heavy rain, snow or fog

at night or when the vehicle is 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

the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this case, have the camera position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

Rear view camera operation

If your vehicle is equipped with a rear view camera, the image from the rear view camera is relayed to the display when you engage reverse gear. Guide lines in the display (depending on the vehicle's equipment) help you with backing up.

The rear view camera is only active when the ignition is switched on.

Static guide lines

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the rear view camera image displays static guide lines. These guide lines assist you with backing up.

The static guidelines have the following meanings:

Please note that all the data is

approximate.

Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m)

;

Vehicle width (to outer edge of wheels)

Vehicle width including exterior mirrors

Vehicle center mark (e.g. to improve visibility of a trailer drawbar)

Basic functions

At a glance

Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 10 in (0.25 m)

Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 3 ft (1 m)

Deactivating the rear view camera

When you shift out of reverse gear, the rear view camera is automatically deactivated after 15 seconds. Additionally, you can deactivate it manually.

Press the Ø, $, Õ, %, i or % button.

Select % in the menu bar. The display shows the previous view.

Activating the rear view camera image when driving forwards

This function is available for the Sprinter.

Navigation system

Important safety notes

WARNING

The navigation system calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following, for example:

traffic lights

stop and give way signs

parking or stopping restrictions

road narrowing

other road and traffic rules and regulations

The navigation system may provide incorrect navigation announcements if the surroundings do not correspond to the data on the digital map. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a oneway street may have changed.

For this reason, you must always observe road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the system's driving recommendations.

Becker®MAP PILOT navigation module

With the Becker®MAP PILOT navigation module, you can upgrade Audio 15 to a fullyfledged navigation system.

Further information can be found under http://www.beckermappilot.com.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

Position finding and route guidance take place using GPS (Global Positioning System). For this purpose, the navigation module has an integrated GPS receiver that receives the satellite signals and determines your geographical location.

Without GPS reception, route guidance is

not possible.

Preparing navigation

Inserting the navigation module

Open the glove box.

Insert the navigation module into the device holder. The battery built into the navigation module starts charging when the vehicle ignition is switched on.

Remove the catch on the front side of the device holder. This way, the navigation module is secured, as well as protected against theft.

Close the glove box.

Switching on the navigation system

Press the ß button.

Press the 9 button repeatedly until the main menu bar is selected.

Select NaviNavi. The display shows the main menu of the navigation system.

If the battery was completely discharged, it takes up to 1 minute before the navigation system is ready.
