Rear view camera

9 Warning
The rear view camera system
does not display pedestrians,
cyclists, animals or any other
object located outside the
camera's field of view, below the
bumper or under the vehicle.
Do not reverse the vehicle using
only the rear view camera screen
or by using the screen during
longer, higher speed reversing
manoeuvres, or where there could
be cross-traffic. Perceived
distances may be different from
actual distances.
Failure to use proper care before
reversing may result in injury,
death or vehicle damage. Always
check before reversing by
physically checking behind and
around the vehicle.
The rear view camera system can
assist the driver when reversing, by
displaying a view of the area behind
the vehicle.
