rearv iew camera ¢ fig.

Objects t hat a re

MMI disp lay.
We recommend that you pract ice pa rking with
the rearview camera in a t raff ic-free location o r
parking lot to become familiar with the system ,
the orientation lines, and their function . When
doing this, there should be good light and weath-
er cond itions.
In the MMI disp lay, objects or vehicles appea r
closer or furthe r away if:
- you a re driving in reverse gea r from a level sur-
face onto an incline, or a downward s lope,
- you are d riving in reverse ge ar toward protr ud-
ing objects,
- t he vehi cle is carrying too much load in t he
rear .
The accuracy of the o rientation lines and blue
surfaces d imin ishes if:
- the rearv iew camera does not provide a reliab le
image, for example, in poor visibility cond itions
or if the lens is d irty,
- the image on the screen is not visib le due to
s un glare and reflection .
