▼ 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, obstructi ons picked up by a camera can appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.
