heed the WARNINGS →
Introduction
The camera → Fig. 165 (magnified view) displays only two-
dimensional images. Recesses and protruding objects on the
ground or protruding parts on other vehicles may be difficult or
impossible to identify due to the lack of depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the
screen than they really are.
Examples of optical distortion by the camera:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disappear from the field of
view when backing up.
