9 mph (15 km/h), or
""take
the vehicle out
of reverse

parking
system
is immediately deactivated,
and
the
rear view
camera picture
is deactivated
automatically after a period of about
15
sec-
onds, or
...
switch off the ignition.
The delay in deactivating the camera provides an
uninterrupted
view behind the vehicle especially
when maneuvering in tight parking spaces and
prevents the picture from turning off the every

tance signal is always active.
