Using information from wide-angle cameras located in the front bumper, door mirrors, and on the tailgate, as well as ultrasonic detectors located in the vehicle bumpers, the feature displays the vehicle surroundings in a 360º top view on the central screen, assisting with difficult manoeuvres (e.g. parking).

The system allows the driver to monitor the surroundings outside the vehicle in real time, front/rear, left/right, and can assist the driver when parking.

However, this system is not a substitute for the driver's vision; even if your vehicle is equipped with this system, you should still check the situation in front of, behind, and to the left and right of your vehicle before parking.

Wide-angle cameras are easily affected by environmental factors such as fog, rain, snow, nighttime, and other low-light conditions. In these environments, you should use the system with caution and ensure that the surrounding environment is safe before using it.

Make sure the camera area is clean. Environmental conditions such as dirty camera areas or rain can affect the system's performance. In case of operation abnormalities, a related message may appear on the instrument panel.

Due to physical layout limitations of the wide-angle camera, blind spots exist in the around view image. Make sure the surrounding environment is safe before use.

■ Activation

You can operate the around view system in one of the following ways.

  • If you have activated the turn signal lever linkage function on the setup screen by selecting [My apps] - [Around view] from the menu on the left side of the center screen, turn on the turn signal when the gear lever is in a position other than R. (Only top view is provided when activated by the turn signal.)
  • If the custom button function on the right side of the steering wheel is set to [Around view] on the center screen, press the custom button on the steering wheel. To set the custom button to [Around view], select [Vehicle settings] - [Vehicle] - [Custom steering wheel buttons] from the menu on the left side of the center screen, and then select [Around view].
  • Select the [Around view] button on the center screen.
  • If the around view app is added as a widget to the center screen home screen, select it to launch the function.
  • The around view system automatically engages when you move the shift stalk into R.

Only enter the around view system in the above manner when your vehicle is traveling less than 15 mph (30 km/h).

■ Deactivation

  • Select the [Return] button 1 in the around view on the center screen.
  • When the gear lever is in P, the system shuts down if no other operation is performed.
  • If the gear lever is in a position other than R, the system shuts down when the vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h.
  • Turning on the turn signal when the vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h will activate around view (only top view is available when activated with the turn signal), and turning off the turn signal will exit around view.

■ Settings

In the settings button 4 of around view, you can press each button to display different images as needed.

  • Guidance lines: Displays the guiding lines as you steer.
  • Transparent chassis: Displays a transparent image of the vehicle.
  • Obstacle distance indicator: Shows the distance to obstacles in color (green - safe, yellow - close, red - caution).
  • Auto-enable around view: Automatically launch around view when an obstacle approaches within 30 cm at low speeds.
  • Turn signal engage: Automatically engage around view when you operate the turn signal at low speeds. (Only top view is available when activated with the turn signal.)

    When the turn signal is engaged while around view is on, a side view of that direction is displayed along with the turn signal.

  • 360º 3D view: Shows a 360º 3D view of your surroundings the first time you engage around view after turning on the ignition.

■ Adjusting the display

From the multimedia screen, when the "360° camera" system is displayed, you can change the views (e.g. replace the bird's eye view by the rear side view).

Your vehicle is equipped with wide-angle cameras, which may result in stretched 3D images or objects appearing overlapping at the edges.

▶ 3D view

Press button 8 to see the 3D realized surroundings of the vehicle with the camera in all directions. A total of eight views can be selected, and the field of view can be rotated in multiple directions by selecting the button.

▶ Wide-angle view

Press button 7 to get a wide-angle view of the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle.

  • Front view
  • Front left and right wide-angle view
  • Rear view
  • Rear left and right wide-angle view

This system allows you to observe the situation around your vehicle and the presence of obstacles without exiting the vehicle.

When using this system, look directly and carefully around the vehicle to determine the actual situation. Do not rely entirely on the system, which can only be used as an aid to the vehicle.

warning

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver. The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

Be aware of the following.

  • Do not use this function while the door mirrors are in folded position.
  • Ensure that the door and tailgate are properly closed before using the function.
  • Do not place any objects on or in front of the cameras.
warning

In front view or rear view: when manoeuvring on a slope, objects shown on the multimedia screen may be closer or further away than they seem.

Take this into account in order to correctly assess the distance before any manoeuvre.

In the combined representation from the cameras:

  • raised objects (pavement, vehicle, etc.) may appear distorted in the bird's eye view;
  • any objects on top of the vehicle are not displayed.

The front, rear and side view guidelines are a representation projected onto flat ground; this information must not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an object on the ground.

Objects displayed on the edge of the multimedia screen may appear distorted.

In very bright light (snow, vehicle in sunshine, etc.), the camera vision may be adversely affected.

warning

Limitation of the system operation

  • The radar area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system.
  • Small objects (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) moving towards the vehicle may not be recognized by the system.

Deactivating the function You must deactivate the function if:

  • the radar area has been damaged (rear bumper);
  • the vehicle is fitted with a towbar that is not recognized by the system.
warning

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

System servicing/repairs

  • In the event of an impact, the position of the radars may be changed, affecting the function. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.
  • Any work in the area where the radars are located (repair, replacement, bodywork, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

Some conditions can disrupt or damage the system operation, for example:

  • a complex environment (underground car park, metallic structures, etc.);
  • poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.).

Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
