Operating and safety warnings
WARNING
The Rear Assist does not make it possible
●
to precisely calculate the distance from ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) and nor can it
overcome the system's own limits, hence us-
ing it may cause serious accidents and inju-
ries if used negligently or without due care.
The driver should be aware of his/her sur-
roundings at all times to ensure safe driving.
The camera lens expands and distorts the
●
field of vision and displays the objects on the
screen in a different, vague manner. The per-
ception of distances is also distorted by this
effect.
● Some objects may, due to the resolution of
the display screen - not be displayed in a sat-
isfactory manner or may not be displayed at
252
Operation
all. Take special care with thin posts, fences,
railings or trees that might not be displayed
on screen and could damage the vehicle.
The rear assist has blind spots where it is
●
not possible to represent people or objects
(small children, animals and certain objects
cannot be detected in its field of vision). Mon-
itor the vehicle's surrounding area at all
times.
Keep the camera lens clean, free of ice and
●
snow, and do not cover it.
● The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness. Supervise the parking operation
at all times, as well as the vehicle's surround-
ing area. Adapt your speed and driving style
at all times to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
Do not be distracted from the traffic by
●
looking at the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial
depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,
for example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of
the orientation lines displayed. The width
represented by the lines diminishes with ve-
hicle load. Pay special attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings when the inside of the ve-
hicle of the luggage compartment is carrying
a heavy load.
In the following situations, the objects or
●
other vehicles shown in the navigation sys-
tem display appear to be further away or
closer than they really are: Pay special atten-
tion:
On moving from a horizontal plane to a
–
slope.
On moving from a slope to a horizontal
–
plane.
If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the

rear.
When the vehicle approaches objects
–
that are not on the ground surface or are
jutting out from it. These objects may al-
so be outside the camera's angle of vi-
sion when reversing.
Note
It is important to take great care and pay
●
special attention if you are not yet familiar
with the system.
Rear assist will not be available if the vehi-
●
cle's rear lid is open.
