Driving and parking 255
The camera or rear of your vehicle is dam‐
R
aged. In this case, have the camera and its
position and setting checked at a qualified
specialist workshop.
% Do not use the rear view camera in these
types of situation. You could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load, leaving the
standard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images, depending on technical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate bracket or bicycle rack).
% The contrast of the display may be impaired
by direct sunlight or by other light sources,
e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this
case, pay particular attention.
% Have the display repaired or replaced if, for
example, pixel errors considerably restrict its
use.
