Driving
The green lines 3 represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the

Operating limits
The system may be disrupted (or even
damaged) and not work in the following
situations:
– Installation of a bicycle carrier on the tailgate
or side-hinged door (depending on version).
– Attachment of a trailer to the towball.
– Driving with a door open.
Surround Rear Vision
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Some objects may not be seen by the
camera.
With the ignition on, in order to improve visibility
of the passenger side blind spot and the rear
of the vehicle, this system uses two cameras
to display the views of the vehicle’s close
surroundings on the reproduction screen (panel
van or fitted with a solid partition).
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, lamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced using the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
Please note, the camera must not be
obscured (by a sticker, a bicycle carrier,
etc.).
The field of vision of the camera may
vary depending on the load in vehicle.
The image quality may be affected by the
surroundings, the exterior conditions
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
This system has three sub-functions:
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the camera
is not covered by mud, frost or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry
cloth.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides of
the vehicle using the mirrors.
When washing the vehicle using a high-pressure
jet, keep the spray directed at least 30 cm away
from the camera.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
