Front Camera and Traffic Signal
I just bought a 2020 GLC 300. I love the car, but am experiencing a weird quirk that I can't seem to find a solution for. When I approach a red light and stop, the front camera activates on the screen and remains active until the light changes and I begin to drive again. It's an annoyance because it takes me away from whatever was on my screen (navigation, telephone call or music) and I have to hit the home button to get back to where I was. I feeling like I've checked every setting and can't find a way to turn this off and I don't see the benefit of the front camera activating when I am sitting at a traffic light. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!

This happened to me after I got mine. When I slowed down for a stop sign, the camera would open on the rear. It did not display anything. Then when I got back up to speed, it would close again.
You have to re-calibrate the camera system. Drive the car at low speed (I think below 10 or 15 MPH) on a road that has lane lines painted on it. The camera needs to see the lines. Once is re-calibrates, you will hear the camera door close and you should be good.

Another possibility is that a proximity sensor is bad or needs calibration. The dealer can run a Parktronic calibration and/or replace a sensor that's out of spec.

It's just a guess but the altered reality navigation uses the camera with the directions overlayed, perhaps something is on the fritz in that logic? After a service I had a weird situation where every time I started the car it started navigating back to the service department. Switching user profiles fixed it for me.

I discovered a solution to this problem today. I deleted my driver profile and created a new one and the problem immediately went away. Thanks for all of the advice. It was very irritating.
