Visual warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object can be shown on the Control Display.
When the distance to an object is small, a red bar is shown in front of the vehicle, as it is in the PDC display.

The display appears as soon as Top View is activated.
If the backup camera image was selected last, it again appears on the display. To switch to Top View:
"Rear view camera" Select the
symbol on
the Control Display.
The setting is stored for the remote control currently in use.
