▼Margin of Error Between Road Surface
on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the
screen and the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could
lead to an accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more
easily produce errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera can appear farther or
closer than the actual distance from the vehicle.
