8Introduction

The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immedi-
ate surroundings. You are responsible for
safe maneuvering, parking and pulling away.
When maneuvering and parking, make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects
in the maneuvering area.
The rear view camera may show obstacles in
perspectival distortion, incorrectly or not at
all. The rear view camera cannot display all
objects located very near and/or under the
rear bumper. It does not warn you of a colli-
sion, persons or objects.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed in a
mirrored fashion, as in the rear-view mirror or
the exterior mirrors.
The rear view camera covers the immediate
surroundings of the vehicle and assists you,
for example, when parking.
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

orescent light. The display may flicker.
Rif there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
