WARNING
The 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.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
x 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.
x Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.
x Always watch for people, especially small children, animals, and objects, because the Rear View Camera system may not always be able to detect them.
x The system may not be able to clearly show everything behind the vehicle.
x Use the Rear View Camera system only when the luggage compartment lid is completely closed.
NOTICE
x The Rear View Camera system 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.
x Things like thin rods, fences, posts, and trees may not be detected by the Rear View Cam-era system and could damage the vehicle.
Special considerations

x Park the vehicle in a safe place on a firm, level surface.
x Apply the parking brake to help prevent the vehicle from moving ⇒  Parking brake.
