Rear View Camera (Rear View)

Introduction

The Rear View Camera system in the

rear of the vehicle makes it easier for

the driver to see behind the vehicle

and assists when parking.

mode and vehicle equipment, orientation lines may assist in the view toward the rear ⇒

WARNING

The Rear View Camera system is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations.

Using the camera image to estimate the distance to people or obstacles may not be precise. If you do not take care, there

is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the

vehicle.

Bear in mind that camera lenses can enlarge and distort the ﬁeld of vision.

The orientation lines superimposed on the camera image are shown by the system regardless of the vehicle's surroundings.

There is no automatic obstacle detection by the camera while it is active. The driver must evaluate whether the vehicle will fit

in the parking space.

If a camera is installed in the trunk lid, the orientation lines are also hidden if the trunk lid is open.
