360° camera - Accessing front camera
So my car has parktronic with the 360° camera system. I understand when you put the car in reverse the back up camera automatically comes on. In the case of parallel parking, when you switch from reverse to drive, the front camera turns on. My question is how about if I am pulling into a normal parking spot, front first and I want to know how close I am to the wheel stop or rear bumper of the car in front of me like when pulling into a parking lot. I read something about pressing the SYS button, but without having my car yet I am just asking questions now.

Yes, you can press the sys button and toggle to the camera. It's actually pretty good at viewing the concrete bumpers. The Parktronic system is excellent also once you get used to it. This is my 3rd Parktronic MB and some say the system is dated. I think it is superior still to other radar systems out there.

I just dug into the Comand Manual a saw that I can program my "star" favorites button next to the comand knob to activate the camera. Thanks again

Th easiest way to access the camera system without putting it in reverse is to press the "Favorites" button on your center console which is in the shape of star. This will bring up your Navi - Media - 360 Camera etc. I use it all the time.
The system works until 11 mph then shuts off.
