BMW 8 Coupe Series, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 251 / 390

General
Road users hidden by obstacles at the side are
only detected very late from the driver's seat. To
improve the view, the cameras at the front and
rear show traffic in the areas at either side.
Yellow lines in the screen display indicate the
front and rear ends of the vehicle.
The camera image is subject to different levels of
distortion in some areas, and is thus not suitable
for estimating distances.

The image from the relevant camera is displayed,
depending on the driving direction:

proaching vehicles by means of radar sensors.
