Rear view camera
Safety notes
!Objects that are not at ground level
appear further away than they actually are,
for example:
Rthe bumper of the vehicle parked behind
Rthe drawbar of a trailer
Rthe ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
Rthe tail-end of a truck
Rslanted posts
Only use the camera guide lines for
orientation. Do not get any closer to
objects than the lowest horizontal guide
line. You may otherwise damage your
vehicle and/or the object.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the
immediate surroundings. You are responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. When
maneuvering and parking, make sure that
there are no persons, animals or objects in
the maneuvering area.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
Rthere is very heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or when the vehicle is in very dark
places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
Rif there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Rthe rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Rear view camera operation
If your vehicle is equipped with a rear view
camera, the image from the rear view camera
is relayed to the display when you engage
reverse gear. Guide lines in the display
(depending on the vehicle's equipment) help
you with backing up.
The rear view camera is only active when the
ignition is switched on.
Static guide lines
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
rear view camera image displays static guide
lines. These guide lines assist you with
backing up.
The static guidelines have the following
meanings:
iPlease note that all the data is
approximate.
:Distance from the rear of the vehicle,
10 ft (3 m)
;Vehicle width (to outer edge of wheels)
=Vehicle width including exterior mirrors
?Vehicle center mark (e.g. to improve
visibility of a trailer drawbar)
