Driving
The green lines 3 represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, lamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced using the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the surroundings, the exterior conditions
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides of
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted (or even
damaged) and not work in the following
situations:
–
Installation of a bicycle carrier on the tailgate
or side-hinged door (depending on version).
–
Attachment of a trailer to the towball.
–
Driving with a door open.
Please note, the camera must not be
obscured (by a sticker, a bicycle carrier,
etc.).
The field of vision of the camera may vary depending on the load in vehicle.
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the camera
is not covered by mud, frost or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry
cloth.
When washing the vehicle using a high-pressure
jet, keep the spray directed at least 30
cm away
from the camera.

With the ignition on, in order to improve visibility
of the passenger side blind spot and the rear

to display the views of the vehicle’s close
surroundings on the reproduction screen (panel
van or fitted with a solid partition).
This system has three sub-functions:
