360 camera issues after spinning out in the rain

So I was playing in the rain with slides and dougnuts and spun out a couple of times yesterday. After that I got a mailfunction message everytime I put in reverse "Cameras not calibrated!"
I figured the system got confused when transmission is in drive but the car is going backwards or something like that.
Before getting it to the dealer I wanted to try sorting it myself by "restart" or just go in the calibration mode to see if the message goes away
I found this video on how to calibrate and in the video they say: "Longpress the star key to enter interface"


I've tried longpressing for 30sec without any luck. Does anyone know how to get to the calibration meny?
Does the car has to be turned on or of? I tried the key in position 2 but nothing happens by longpressing the star key

This dilemma seems somewhat strange as they use the C 63 coupe's at the AMG driving academy for the Drift course and these cars are spinning around in circles all day long. I've never had any of them pop up an error message due to that reason? Good luck with troubleshooting

I know, I was thinking the same! I have had power steering dying when sliding about but never the cameras

Claim it on warranty. Don't tell the dealership it happened during a donut because they might put that under "using the car improperly".

I'm not sure those cars are equipped with the 360 cameras. It's part of the parking assistance package. I don't recall if they had the parking assistance button in the center console, which would be there if it had the 360 camera. It's possible that in OP's case it knocked one of the cameras loose. I haven't done a 360 accidentally in mine, but I did spin out once and went completely sideways by accident. So far no issues with the camera calibrations. I would also say it's probably best to take the car in. If something got knocked loose, then simple calibration won't fix it.

Just take it in, how are they going to know you broke it doing doughnuts. Besides, it's more likely to be coincidence.

you’re probably right. Today I noticed that the parking sensors wasn’t working either
maybe a fuse?

May have knocked something loose that wasn’t installed right at the factory, probably not your fault man. Have the stealership look at it.
