How to set up the reversing camera on a Mercedes-Benz S320?

The reversing camera on the Mercedes-Benz S320 does not require additional setup. Simply shift the gear into reverse, and the reversing camera system will automatically activate. Below is an introduction to the reversing camera: 1. The reversing camera greatly assists drivers in observing the surroundings of the vehicle, making parking more convenient. If the reversing camera malfunctions due to system upgrades or other reasons, you can visit a 4S store to have professionals restore it. Generally, as long as the reversing camera settings are not tampered with, it should function normally. 2. Some high-end Mercedes-Benz S-Class models are equipped with a 360-degree camera system, which uses cameras on the front, rear, and side mirrors to simulate a bird's-eye view, allowing drivers to see the vehicle's surroundings and further enhancing convenience for moving and parking the car. 3. When moving or reversing the vehicle, the speed must not be too fast, and the driver should always observe the situation in the left and right rearview mirrors. Although the car is equipped with a reversing camera, it is only an auxiliary tool. Extra caution is still required when reversing.
When I drove the S320, I found that the reverse camera didn't require any setup—it automatically popped up when shifting to R gear, which was super convenient. However, sometimes the image wouldn't display, and I had to check if the small camera on the trunk lid was blocked by mud or stickers. Another thing is, if the large screen stays on the music interface and isn't switched back, the reverse image might be partially obscured. The Mercedes' 360-degree camera system is impressive—when turning the steering wheel, the screen displays the path the tires will follow. If you're worried about scraping the curb, just glance at those dotted guide lines, and you'll be fine. Also, in the settings menu of the central control screen, there's a 'Parking Assist' option where you can adjust the image brightness or turn off the guide lines if needed.
