Assistance graphics
Various assistance graphics in the form of overlays (graphics and text) can be overlaid in the image of the camera. The assistance graphics can be enabled or disabled in the menu of the back-up camera.
- Maximum curve radii for the turning circle:
These radii illustrate the maximum turning circle in the camera image.
- Marking lines for the driving lane:
The driving lane depends on the steering-wheel angle. The marking lines show the predicted driving lane of the vehicle and thus the space required for maneuvering.
- Distance graphic:
When the parking aid (PDC: Park Distance Control) detects an obstacle, a distance graphic appears in the real image.
The graphic changes color depending on the gap to the obstacle. The colors run from red to green.
- Virtual camera pan:
The camera pan can be used to change the vertical angle of view of the camera. The camera image pans virtually without the camera moving mechanically.
Depending on the driving speed, different angles of view are shown in the vertical direction and as full screen.
In the case of slow reversing (below 5 km/h), the lower angle of view (from the bumper to the horizontal) is displayed to enable recognition of a much detail as possible behind the vehicle.
With faster reversing (above 5 km/h), the angle of view changes upwards (that is: as of 1 meter ground clearance from the bumper to at least 10° above the horizontal).
- Zoom to trailer coupling:
The zoom trailer coupling is a zoomed display of the rear end. Overlaid distance graphics (interactive artificial lines as well as marking lines for the gap depending on the steering angle) enable convenient hitching of a trailer.
