What is the Surround View System in Mercedes-Benz Vehicles?

Function of the Mercedes-Benz Surround View Camera 

Parking tight? Need a clear view? Parking gets tricky. Tight spaces, blind spots, and unseen obstacles make it worse. Technology changes that. The Surround View System brings clarity, safety, and confidence. With multiple cameras, it gives a 360-degree view around the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale in Arizona offers the latest models equipped with this feature. 

How Does the Surround View System Work? 

Four strategically placed cameras capture real-time images. One at the front grille, one at the rear, and two beneath the side mirrors. These images merge into a seamless overhead view. The display appears on the MBUX touchscreen. Drivers see obstacles from all angles. Tight spots no longer feel impossible. Reversing feels safer. The system activates automatically when shifting to reverse. Pressing a button enables manual activation.
