Skoda Octavia Operating Instructions Manual page 144

The rear view camera (following only as system) helps the driver when parking
and manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle in the Infotainment
display (following only as display).
WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
Make sure that the camera lens is not dirty or covered, otherwise the sys-
■
tem function can be significantly impaired. For information on cleaning
» page 181, Camera lens
CAUTION
The camera lens distorts and enlarges the field of view of the difference in
■
eye sight. The display is therefore only of limited use for estimating distances
to following vehicles.
Some items, such as thin columns, chain link fences or lattice may not be
■
represented adequately in terms of display resolution.
It is only a two-dimensional display. Therefore, protruding objects or roadway
■
depressions, for example, may not be recognised due to lack of space depth.
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
■
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.
