Rear view camera
Function of the rear view camera
When you engage reverse gear, the image from
the rear view camera is shown in the media dis‐
play. Dynamic guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take with the current steering angle.
This helps you to orient yourself and to avoid
obstacles when backing up.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects etc., in the
maneuvering area while maneuvering and park‐
ing.
