Park Assist Camera trajectory lines

The Park Assist Cameras (PAC1) use trajectory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's position in relation to its immediate surroundings.

Example of trajectory lines

The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based on the current position of the steering wheel and can help simplify parallel parking, backing into tight spaces and connecting a trailer.

The lines on the screen are projected as if they were painted lines on the ground behind the vehicle and are directly affected by the way in which the steering wheel is turned. This makes it possible for the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she turns the steering wheel.

These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (trailer, rearview mirrors, corners of the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.

 Note

  • When backing up with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehicle, keep in mind that the trajectory lines on the display will show the path the vehicle will take – not the path of the trailer.
  • The display will not show any trajectory lines when a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

 Important

  • Bear in mind that when the rearward camera view is selected, the screen only shows the area behind the vehicle – pay attention to the sides and front of the vehicle when steering while reversing.
  • The same applies to the reverse – pay attention to what is happening with the rear parts of the vehicle when the front camera view is selected.
  • Note that the guide lines show the shortest path – pay extra attention to ensure that the vehicle sides do not come in contact with/travel over anything when steering while driving forward or that the vehicle front moves toward/over anything when steering while backing up.

Trajectory lines in 360° view*

360° view with trajectory lines
In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehicle, depending on the direction of travel.
  • When driving forward: Front lines
  • When backing up: Side lines and rear lines

When the front or rear camera is selected, the trajectory lines will be shown regardless of the vehicle's direction of travel.

With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines will only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.

Towbar trajectory line

A trajectory line for the towbar's intended direction of travel can be shown to assist when hitching a trailer. This is activated under the Park Assist Camera settings.

Trajectory lines cannot be displayed for the towbar and the entire vehicle at the same time.
