'14 GL450. Rear camera lens has some schmutz on it. I cleaned it once before by having my lovely wife sit in the car and put it in reverse to get the camera to pop open. Not exactly a safety moment. I tried yday to shut the car off while in reverse but it went into neutral. Is there a way for one person to get the camera to open for cleaning? Thanks.
Saw this in another post so see if it's the same for our SUVs:
Went to System (in COMMAND) and at the bottom of the screen on the left was SETTINGS and clicking on that gave a menu that had 360* Camera. I elected to OPEN it and heard it open. Went to the back of the vehicle and it was open.
I could not close it using the menu. I backed out of the driveway and went around the block and parked. It was closed by then.

Thank you. Worked like a charm. I totally forgot about the stupid onboard manual which requires you to go out and sit in the car and search for things. MB did have a guides app which is currently not available in the US, though they have been resurrected in the German App Store. I have them on my iPhone which replicates the onboard manual. Below is a screen shot of how to control the camera. BTW I will lose the Guides if I update to IOS 11. Again, thanks.
