delay if reverse gear is not engaged.
Fault
The rear view camera may not operate properly when:
● the surrounding is dark
● the sun or the beam of headlights
is shining directly into the camera lens
● ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the camera lens. Clean
the lens, rinse it with water, and
wipe it with a soft cloth
● the rear doors/tailgate are not closed correctly
● the vehicle had a rear-end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning system
uses a front camera to observe the
lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. The system detects
lane changes and warns the driver in
the event of an unintended lane
change via visual and acoustic
signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● no operation of turn and lane- change signals
● no active steering
If the driver is performing these
actions, no warning will be issued.
