System limits
The rear view camera system shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth
of field means that potholes and protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with
difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
The rear view camera system may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences,
posts, trees etc. This could result in damage to your vehicle.
The system displays the orientation lines irrespective of the area surrounding the vehicle. There is
no automatic obstacle detection. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into
the parking space.
WARNING
Using images from the camera to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles
etc.) is inaccurate and could cause accidents and severe injuries.
• Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision and make objects appear different
and inaccurate on the screen.
