immediate surroundings. The responsibil-
ity for safe manoeuvring and parking
remains with you. Make sure that there are
no persons, animals or objects etc., in the
manoeuvring area while manoeuvring or
parking.

If the rear of your vehicle is damaged,
consult a qualified specialist workshop
and have the reversing camera checked.

appear further away than they actually
are, for example:
R
the bumper of the vehicle parked
behind
R
the drawbar of a trailer
R
the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R
the tail-end of a lorry

slanted posts
Only use the image from the reversing
camera as a guide. You may otherwise
damage your vehicle and/or the object.
