R
ted up. Observe the notes on cleaning the

aged. In this case, have the camera and its
position and setting checked at a qualified
specialist workshop.
% Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situation. You could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load, leaving the
standard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images, depending on technical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the
reversing camera may be restricted due to addi‐
tional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
licence plate bracket or bicycle rack).
% The contrast of the display may be impaired
by direct sunlight or by other light sources,
e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this
case, pay particular attention.
