On vehicles with height-adjus table suspension or
if th eve hicle is car rying a heavy load, leaving the
st andard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of thege nerated
ima ges, depending on tech nical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the cam‐
era sy stem may be restricted due toadditional
attachments on theve hicle (e.g. loading tailgate).
