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
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.

Driving
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.
