Rear view camera coverage area

Objects
that are not in the area covered @ are not
shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic -free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys -
tem, the orientation lines, and their function.
When doing th is, there shou ld be good light
and weather conditions.
In t he MMI disp lay, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an incline, or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward pro -
truding objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear .
The accuracy of the or ientat ion lines and blue
surfaces d imin ishes if:
- the rear view camera does not prov ide a reli-
able image, for examp le, in poor visibility
condit ions or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun g lare and reflect ion.
