Introduction
Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
resentation that is shown on the infotain-
ment system display. The cameras are loca-
ted on the radiator grille, the exterior mirrors
and the rear lid.
The functions and representations of the
Area View system may vary depending on
whether or not the vehicle has ParkPilot.
WARNING
The image from the cameras does not make it
possible to calculate the distance to the ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) precisely, so
using them could cause serious accidents
and injury.
● The camera lenses augment and distort the
visual field and the objects on the screen are
seen differently and imprecisely.
● Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be shown very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insufficient.
The cameras have blind spots in which ob-
●
stacles and people are not registered.
● The camera lens must be kept free, without
snow or ice, and should not be covered.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Top View Camera* system cannot overcome
266
Operation
the limits imposed by the laws of physics and
it only works within the limits of the system.
The greater convenience provided by the Area
View system should never tempt you to take
any risk that may compromise safety. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause se-
rious accidents and injuries. The system is
not a replacement for driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
Do not be distracted from the traffic by
●
looking at the screen.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, since the cameras do not capture small
children, animals and certain objects in all
situations.
The use of a number plate may interfere in
●
the views shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
The system will probably be unable to rep-
●
resent all areas clearly.
CAUTION
The camera images are only two-dimen-
●
sional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, objects
that jut out or holes on the road, for example,
are more difficult to detect or may not be
seen at all.
In certain circumstances, the camera does
●
not capture objects such as beams, fences,
posts or thin trees, which could damage the
vehicle.
The system displays the auxiliary lines and
●
boxes regardless of the vehicle's environ-
ment, no objects are detected. The driver is
responsible for determining that the vehicle
will fit in the parking space.
CAUTION
In order to guarantee good system operation,
keep the cameras clean, free of snow or ice,
and do not cover them with adhesives or oth-
er objects.
● Never use abrasive cleaning products to
clean the camera lenses.
Do not use hot or warm water to remove ice
●
or snow from the camera lenses. Doing so
could damage the lenses.
