The area for parking or manoeuvring
●
should be a flat surface.
The vehicle should not be loaded very
●
heavily at the rear.
The driver must be used to the system.
●
There should be no damage to the vehicle
●
in the camera area. If the position or installa-
tion angle of the cameras have been
changed, e.g. after a rear-end collision, the
system should be checked by a specialised
workshop.
Special characteristics
The images on the area view system cameras
are only two-dimensional. Due to a lack of
spatial depth, it is difficult or impossible to
make out on-screen any holes there may be
on the ground, objects jutting out from the
ground or parts protruding from other vehi-
cles.
Situations in which the objects or other vehi-
cles appear to be further away or closer than
they really are:
On moving from a horizontal plane to a
●
slope.
On moving from a slope to a horizontal
●
plane.
If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear.
●
If the vehicle approaches protruding ob-
●
jects. These objects may be outside the cam-
eras' angle of visibility.
