monitor traffic to the left, front and right

Reverse Assist (Rear View
Camera)*

Operating and safety warnings

WARNING
The reverse assist does not make it possi-
●
ble to precisely calculate the distance from
obstacles and nor can it overcome the sys-
tem's own limits, hence its negligent use
may cause serious accidents and injuries if
used without due care. The driver should be
aware of his/her surroundings at all times
to ensure safe driving.
Help with parking and manoeuvring
The camera lens expands and distorts
●
the field of view and displays the objects
on the screen in a way that is different from
reality. Distance perception is also distor-
ted.
Due to the screen resolution or light con-
●
ditions, some items may be blurry or not
displayed at all. Take care with thin posts,
fences, railings or trees that might not be
seen on the screen and could damage the
vehicle.
The reverse assist has blind spots where
●
it cannot see people or objects. Monitor the
vehicle's surrounding area at all times.
The system is not a replacement for driv-
●
er awareness. Supervise the parking ma-
noeuvre and the vehicle's surrounding area
at all times.
Do not be distracted from the traffic by
●
looking at the screen.
The images are only two-dimensional.
●
Protruding objects or holes in the road, for
example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
Vehicle load modifies the representation
●
›››
of the guide lines Fig. 212. The width rep-
resented by the lines decreases with vehi-
cle load. Pay special attention to the sur-
roundings when the inside of the vehicle of
the luggage compartment are loaded.
In the following situations, objects or oth-
●
er vehicles appear to be further away or
closer than they actually are. Pay special
attention:
If moving from a flat surface to a slope
–
and vice-versa.
If the vehicle is heavily loaded.
–
When the vehicle approaches objects
–
that are not on the ground surface or
that protrude from it. These objects
may be outside the camera angle when
reversing.
Note
It is important to take great care and pay
●
special attention if the driver is not familiar
with the system.
Reverse assist will not be available if the
●
rear lid is open.
