In this section you’ll find information about:  
Operation  
Parking  
There is a camera in the luggage compartment lid to assist the driver while backing up or  
maneuvering. The camera image is shown together with the orientation lines projected by the system  
on the screen of the factory-installed radio or navigation system.  
Rear View may take a few seconds to bring up the camera image.

WARNING  
Rear View is not able to give you a clear and undistorted view of all areas behind the vehicle.  
The camera has blind spots in which it cannot detect people and objects.  
Always be careful and look around you when parking. The camera cannot show people,  
animals, and objects in certain situations. Watch out for small children and animals in  
particular.  
Due to the screen resolution or in low-light conditions, the camera may not pick up thin  
posts, chain-link fences and similar fences, and other objects, or it may not show them  
clearly.  
The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and causes objects on the screen  
to appear altered and imprecise.  
Always keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice; do not cover the lens.  
WARNING  
Rear View Camera system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and the limits of  
the system. Careless or unintentional use of the Rear View Camera system may result in  
accidents and severe injuries.  
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility  
conditions.  
Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle surroundings. The front of  
the vehicle swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.  
Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice  
what is going on around you.  
Always watch for people, especially small children, animals, and objects, because the  
camera may not always be able to detect them.  
The system may not be able to clearly show everything behind the vehicle.  
Use the Rear View Camera system only when the luggage compartment lid is completely  
closed.  
NOTICE  
The camera shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. Due to the lack of depth of  
field, it may be difficult or impossible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road, for  
example.  
Things like thin rods, fences, posts, and trees may not be detected by the camera and could  
damage the vehicle.
