What is Surround View Camera (360-degree Camera)?

Cameras are usually in the grille, under the door mirrors and at the rear. Software stitches the images into one view from above. It helps in tight parking and to avoid kerbs.

How it works

Wide-angle cameras capture each side, and the images are corrected and joined.

Why it matters for your car

After replacing a mirror or camera, the system often needs calibration. Dirty lenses reduce image quality.
