- For safety reasons, you should not use the
system if the position and installation angle
of the reversing camera have been changed,
e.g. due to an accident. Have it checked by a
qualified workshop.
- Only use the reversing camera to assist you
if it is supplying you with a good and clear
picture. The quality of the picture can be im
paired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a
defect.
- Only use the reversing camera when the
boot lid is completely closed. Please make
sure that there are no objects mounted to
the rear end of the vehicle which could block
the view of the reversing camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. Objects on the screen are
modified and depicted inaccurately.
- In certain situations, people or objects on
the display may appear closer or further
away than they really are:
- Objects which are not touching the
ground, such as the bumper of a parked
vehicle, a tow-bar or the rear end of a
truck. In this case, do not use the orienta
tion lines as a guide.
- When you are reversing from a horizontal
surface up a gradient or down a hill.
- When approaching protruding objects.
- When the vehicle has been loaded with a
greater load on the rear.
