A WARNING
- The rear view camera does not show the
entire area behind the vehicle
c:;, page 133, fig. 152. Watch out espe-
cially for small children and anima ls. The
rear view camera ca nnot always detect
them, posing ris k of an accident!
- Please note that objects not touching the
grou nd can appear to be further away
than they really are (for example, the
bumper of a parked vehicle, a trailer
hitch, or the rear of a truck). In this case,
you shou ld not use the help lines to help
with parking, which poses danger of an
accident!
(D Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a
warning can disappear from the system's
detection range as they are approached
and will not continue to be signaled. Ob-
jects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, th in painted vert ica l poles or fen-
ces may not be detected by the system,
posing risk of damage.
- In the MMI display, the direction of trav-
el of the vehicle rear is represented de-
pend ing on the st eering wheel angle.
The vehi cle front swings out mo re than
the vehicle rear. Maintain plenty of dis-
tance from an obstacle so that your out -
side mirror or a corner of your vehicle
does not collide with any obstacles - dan-
ger of accident!
