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 obstacles (people, vehicles, etc.)
precisely, so using them could cause seri-
ous accidents and injury.
The camera lenses augment and distort
●
the visual field and the objects on the
screen are seen differently and imprecise-
ly.
Certain objects may not be shown or may
●
not be shown very clearly, for example,
posts or thin rails, due to the screen resolu-
tion or if light conditions are insufficient.
The cameras have blind spots in which
●
obstacles and people are not registered.
The camera lens must be kept free, with-
●
out snow or ice, and should not be covered.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the Top View Camera* system cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits of
the system. The greater convenience provi-
ded by the Area View system should never
tempt you to take any risk that may com-
promise safety. If used negligently or invol-
untarily, it may cause serious accidents
Driver assistance systems
and injuries. The system is not a replace-
ment 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
●
represent all areas clearly.
CAUTION
The camera images are only two-dimen-
●
sional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, ob-
jects 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 envi-
ronment, no objects are detected. The driv-
er is responsible for determining that the
vehicle will fit in the parking space.
CAUTION
In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the cameras clean, free of snow
or ice, and do not cover them with adhe-
sives or other 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.
