WARNING
Using the rear view camera system to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles etc.) is inaccurate and could cause accidents and
severe injuries.
The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and the objects on the screen will not be depicted as precisely and accurately as
they are in reality.
Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or impossible to see on the screen because of its low resolution or
poor light conditions.
The rear view camera system has blind spots within which obstacles and people cannot be detected.
Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow and ice and do not cover it.
WARNING
The intelligent rear view camera system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system.
Never let the extra convenience afforded by the rear view camera system tempt you into taking any risks when driving – this can cause
accidents. Careless or unintentional use of the rear view camera system can cause accidents and lead to serious injury. The system is not a
substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area surrounding the vehicle. The front of the vehicle swings out
more than the rear of the vehicle.
Do not allow the images shown on the screen to distract you from the traffic around you.
Always monitor the area around the vehicle as small children, animals and objects will not always be detected by the rear view camera
system.
The rear view camera system may not be able to display all areas clearly.
NOTICE
The rear view camera system shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth of field means that potholes and
protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
The reversing camera may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts, trees etc. This could result in damage to
your vehicle.
The system displays the orientation lines and boxes irrespective of the area surrounding the vehicle. There is no automatic obstacle
detection. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into the parking space.
