Operating and safety warnings

WARNING

●

Do not be distracted from the traffic by

looking at the screen.

●

The Rear Assist does not make it possible

to precisely calculate the distance from ob-

stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) and nor can it

overcome the system's own limits, hence us-

ing it may cause serious accidents and inju-

ries if used negligently or without due care.

The driver should be aware of his/her sur-

roundings at all times to ensure safe driving.

●

The images on the rear assist screen are

only two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial

depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,

for example, are more difficult to detect or

may not be seen at all.

The camera lens expands and distorts the

screen in a different, vague manner. The per-
