2024 GLE 450 “Camera activation position reached”

Has anyone else seen this before? This happens randomly while driving. Thanks

You must have accidentally added that location to open the camera automatically. It's an icon of the camera with a GPS pin on it.

It's useful for when you want the camera to open when you reach a certain location. For example, I have it set to open when I pull into my driveway.

You can manage saved locations in vehicle settings, Assistance, Camera, GPS-Based activation.

And the reason it's not showing anything is likely because your speed is > 10MPH when you reach the GPS coordinate saved

Is this a MBUX 2 feature? I have MBUX 1 and hoping to know if this feature is there.

Is there a setting where you can fold the mirrors in as you approach your driveway?

It's a function of 360 camera that is, according to owner's manuals, available on 2023 (NTG6) and 2024 (NTG7) MY, so not MBUX but MY specific.

We have a narrow entry, and it's better to fold them before entering.

I went there and it said no saved positions. How do I save a position in the first place?. Can’t find it in the manual

You open the camera and tap that little icon I'm pointing to in the first photo. That saves the current location to open the camera automatically.

Thank you for this. FYI I was about 15' from my garage door when I set it. It came on when I was about 30' from it. That was fine.

I suspect that doesn’t work on the 450e. I have no icon when I open the camera.

I don't think 450e is any different somehow. If you have 360 camera, it should be available. Check page 282 of the manual. Section "360° camera", Online version of it: https://www.mbusa.com/content/dam/mb...s%20Manual.pdf
