• Switch the MMI on and select reverse gear.
• Turn the steering wheel until the orange orientation lines 1 appear in the parking spot > fig. 147. Use the markings 2 to help you estimate the distance from an obstacle. Each marking represents 3 ft (1 meter). The blue area represents an extension of the vehicle's outline by approximately 16 ft (5 meters) to the rear.
• While driving in reverse gear, adjust the steering wheel angle to fit the parking space with the aid of the orange orientation lines. 3 marks the rear bumper. Stop the vehicle when the red orientation line 4 borders an object.

WARNING

• The rearview camera does not show the entire area behind the vehicle > fig. 143. Watch out especially for small children and animals. The rearview camera cannot always detect them, posing risk of an accident!
• Please note that objects not touching the ground can appear to be further away than they really are (for example, the bumper of a parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear of a truck). In this case, you should not use the help lines to help with parking, which poses danger of an accident!

Note

In the MMI display, the direction of travel of the vehicle rear is represented depending on the steering wheel angle. The vehicle front swings out more than the vehicle rear. Maintain plenty of distance so that your outside mirror or a corner of your vehicle does not collide with any obstacles. This can damage to your vehicle.
