Rear View Camera (Rear View)  
Introduction  
The Rear View Camera system in the  
rear of the vehicle makes it easier for  
the driver to see behind the vehicle and  
assists when parking.  
System function  
The Rear View Camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen. Depending on the mode and vehicle equipment, orientation  
lines may assist in the view toward the rear  
.
WARNING  
The Rear View Camera system is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Using the camera image to estimate  
the distance to people or obstacles may not be precise. If you do not take care, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.  
Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.  
Bear in mind that camera lenses can enlarge and distort the field of vision.  
The orientation lines superimposed on the camera image are shown by the system regardless of the vehicle's surroundings. There is no automatic obstacle  
detection by the camera while it is active. The driver must evaluate whether the vehicle will fit in the parking space.  
If a trailer is connected to the factory-installed trailer hitch, all orientation lines for the rear area are hidden in the camera image.  
If a camera is installed in the trunk lid, the orientation lines are also hidden if the trunk lid is open.
