Messages on the display
If the tailgate is raised, the camera will
not detect any obstacle in the area
behind the car. A dedicated warning
message will appear on the display.
Closing the door will restore proper
camera operation and the warning
message on the display will disappear.
WARNINGS
WARNING In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on the
surface of the camera, the camera
sensitivity may be reduced.
WARNING In some special
circumstances (e.g. after long periods
of inactivity or after disconnecting
and reconnecting the battery), when
activating the rear camera during
Uconnect™ system initialisation, the
guidelines and warning messages may
not be displayed correctly; at the end
of this phase, they will be automatically
restored.
WARNING If the tailgate is to be re-
painted following to repairs, make sure
the paint does not get in contact with
the camera.
WARNING When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may
be above or under the operating range
of the camera.
WARNING
147)
Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
43)
It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.
