WARNING

The distance viewed in the rearview

camera may differ from the actual

of road or the load the vehicle is car-

rying. Since the camera display area

is also limited, backing up by only

looking at the display may cause an

accident or a crash with an object.

The rearview camera cannot replace

the driver’s attention. The driver

alone is responsible for parking and

similar driving maneuvers.

• Use the rearview camera only to

provide driving assistance.

• Always drive carefully confirming

the safety of the rear and the sur-

rounding conditions by looking

directly with your eyes and using

the rear view mirror.

• Make sure that the tailgate is

securely closed when backing up.

NOTICE

If you use the rearview camera for a

long time when the ignition mode is

ON, but the engine is not running, the

battery may discharge.

Do not leave the ignition mode ON for

a long time when the engine is not

running.

Braking

60G165S

The distance needed to bring any vehicle

to a halt increases with the speed of the

vehicle. The braking distance needed, for

example, at 60 km/h will be approximately

4 times greater than the braking distance

needed at 30 km/h. Start to depress the

brake pedal when there is plenty of dis-

tance between your vehicle and the stop-

ping point, and slow down gradually.
