l The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface. This may make the distance to a projectingobject shown on the screen differ from the
actual distance to the projecting object. Do not use them as a guide for distances to solid
objects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The points A and B actually are the same distances from the vehicle, and the
NOTEpoint C is farther off than the points A and
B.Cargo loads

tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.CAUTIONl Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour the plastic parts.

with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent thenimmediately rinse the affected parts with
water.Chrome parts
