WARNING
Rear Assist technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and the limits of the system.
Careless or unintentional use of Rear Assist may result in accidents and severe injuries.
x
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility
conditions.
x
Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle surroundings. The front of
the vehicle swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
x
Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice
what is going on around you.
x
Always watch for people, especially small children, animals, and objects, because the
Rear Assist camera may not always be able to detect them.
x
The system may not be able to clearly show everything behind the vehicle.
x
Use Rear Assist only when the rear hatch is completely closed.
NOTICE
x
The Rear Assist camera shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. Due to the lack
of depth of field, it may be difficult or impossible to identify protruding objects or recesses in
the road, for example.
x
Things like thin rods, fences, posts, and trees may not be detected by the Rear Assist
camera and could damage the vehicle.
