Important safety notes

The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not

immediate surroundings. You are always

responsible for safe maneuvering and

parking. When maneuvering or parking, make

sure that there are no persons, animals or

objects in the area in which you are

maneuvering.

in a limited manner:

in heavy rain, snow or fog

at night or in very dark places

lighting (the display may flicker)

this event, have the camera position and
