360 surround-view -- manual activation?

[BillhasaGV60]

In reverse, the surround-view appears automatically and stays on for a bit of forward driving as well. It re-appears when the car senses that I'm pulling forward into the garage space, which is understandable. But sometimes it doesn't activate when I'm pulling forward into a parking lot space and I'd like to see how much of a buffer I've got around the car. Other than going into reverse for a second, is there a way to activate it manually?

It will not come on unless it detects something that you may hit. Any time the sensors pick up an obstacle when you are below 5 MPH, the camera will turn on. If you want it on for parking, just push the button to turn the camera on.

ah, but that's exactly my question--which button? i haven't found it yet.

The button on the center console, where you rest your elbow, with a picture of a camera and a letter P on it.

hmm--i figured that was the button (it looks like one on my audi) but when i've pushed it i didn't see anything happen...unless maybe i need to be going less than 5 mph. i'll give it a try.

Yes the camera turns off above a set speed.
