indicates the distance
entation lines projected on the Infotainment

at the bottom, which can be used by the driver
as a reference point.

Parking and manoeuvring
Requirements
To park with reverse assist, the following re-
quirements must be met:
●
Do not exceed a speed of approx. 15 km/h
(9 mph).
●
Parking space width: vehicle width + 0.15 m
(without counting the mirrors).
To display a real image, the following require-
ments must be met:
●
The luggage compartment rear door is
closed.
●
The surroundings are on a flat surface.
●
The vehicle should not be loaded very heav-
ily at the rear.
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.
●
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 distorted.
