Detection of objects
The sensors may not detect very low obstacles
as well as high, protruding objects, e.g., wall
ledges.
The objects displayed on the control display
may be closer than they appear. Do not esti-
mate the distance to the objects on the control
display.
Protruding cargo, a rear carrier, or trailer can
limit the detection range of the camera.

display.
The detection range of the failed camera is
shown shaded on the control display.
