The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, bicycle rack).
On vehicles with height-adjustable chassis,
leaving the standard height can result in inac-
curacies in the guide lines, depending on tech-
nical conditions.

drops and dust by means of a flap. When the
rear view camera is activated, this flap opens.
The flap closes again when: R
you have finished the maneuvering process R
