Location 

The reversing camera is above the license plate on the left in the handle strip of the trunk lid (model 205.0/1) or the liftgate (model 205.2, 253).

Task 

The backup camera does the following:

Recording area to the rear of the vehicle 

The reversing camera is an optical parking aid. Its tasks include a surrounding field recording of the rear area, the generation of dynamic guide lines and the sending of the video picture to the head unit (A26/17). The pictures recorded by the reversing camera are processed accordingly and electronically corrected for distortion by the integrated control unit to be shown in the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8). The reversing camera is supplied with power by the rear SAM control unit (N10/8).

IMPORTANT The reversing camera is automatically calibrated by the integrated control unit.

Reading in of signals 

The reversing camera reads in, among others, the following information via user interface CAN (CAN HMI):

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions.

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor whereupon the relevant signals are then issued.

Output of signals 

The signals are issued through the following connections:

Direct line 

The reversing camera sends the picture data over a low voltage differential signal line (LVDS) to the head unit.

User interface CAN 

The reversing camera sends, among others, the following signals via user interface CAN:

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions.

Body 

The reversing camera is a color picture camera with a wide-angle lens (angle of vision ∠ > 130°) and integrated control unit.
