Rear view camera system (Rear View)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Switching on and off 
⇒ Display representation 
⇒ Prerequisites 
⇒ Parking 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The rear view camera system in the rear of the vehicle makes it easier for the driver to see behind
the vehicle and provides support for parking manoeuvres.
The rear view camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen.
Depending on the operating mode, orientation lines support the view to the rear.

WARNING
Using images from the camera to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles etc.) is
inaccurate and could cause accidents and severe injuries.
Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision and show objects differently and inaccurately
on the screen.
