Surrounded Camera Not Showing when approaching objects
Hi, does anyone know if surrounding view camera suppose to pop up when approaching some object in front? The parking sensor works fine and beeping. and if I put reverse, it shows up and remain till I leave the parking lot.
it’s nice if it pops when too close to some things. My Infiniti does that.
Not sure if it’s designed to not doing this way or just some settings I have to change. Thanks

On my 2016 GLE 350 the backup camera comes on only in reverse and stays on for a short time when moving forward in drive afterwards. That's the only time I have seen it come on the monitor screen. I thought I recall a setting where you can manually extend the camera, but I'm not sure when that could be used.

Does yours has the 360 camera or just the backup? To me it make sense to act like this if the car only has backup cameras.
With 360 cameras, when the car detect something in front, it should popup the 360 camera view(at least I believe it should).
I'm hoping it's something hidden in settings that I missed.

I have only the rear camera which is activated when backing up and it remains on for a few seconds pulling forward- nice when parallel parking to see the painted lines.
