Installing the rear view video camera
Note
A green sticker on the camera indicates the correct alignment. If the camera is
not correctly aligned, the picture will be askew or upside down on the monitor.
➤
Check that the camera is installed securely.
It must be firmly in place and may not fall out of the drill holes due to vibrations.
7.3 Using aluminium housing
If the camera is not to be installed on the bumper, it can be attached to the vehicle using
the aluminium housing supplied. This is useful if the camera can be mounted in a higher
position. In this case, the back of the vehicle and the area behind the vehicle can be
shown. Any obstacles can then be easily detected.
You can mount the camera on the outside of the vehicle (6, page 6) or inside the vehicle,
e. g. on the C pillar (7, page 6).
Mounting the camera on the exterior
If installing the camera alters the vehicle height or length specified in the
vehicle documents, your vehicle must be inspected and approved by the
appropriate authorities.
Make sure that you are in possession of documents verifying that your
vehicles has passed this inspection.
Warning!
Select a location for the camera and attach it so securely that it cannot under
any circumstances fall off and injure bystanders (e.g. by being knocked off by
branches brushing over the roof of the vehicle).
Observe the following instructions when mounting the camera on the outside of the
vehicle:
Attach the camera in the highest possible position.
Ensure that you have a firm place from which to work when mounting the camera.
Ensure that the installation location of the camera is sufficiently firm (e. g. to prevent
the camera from being knocked down by branches that may brush over the roof of
the vehicle).
The camera should be aligned so that back of the vehicle can be seen in the monitor.
Mount the camera horizontally and in the middle of the rear of the vehicle (see 6,
page 6).
The most secure type of attachment is with screws fitted through the body. Please
observe the following instructions:
– There must be sufficient space for the mounting procedure behind the chosen
installation location.
– Every through-hole must be protected to prevent water penetration (e.g. by
using a screws and sealant and/or spraying the outside of the installation
location with sealant).
