NOTICE
●
The camera images are only two-dimen-
sional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, objects
that jut out or holes on the road, for exam-
ple, are more diicult to detect or may not be
seen at all.
●
In certain circumstances, the camera does
not capture objects such as beams, fences,
posts or thin trees, which could damage the
vehicle.
●
The system displays the auxiliary lines and
boxes regardless of the vehicle's environ-
ment, no objects are detected. The driver is
responsible for determining that the vehicle
will t in the parking space.

Special characteristics
The images on the area view system cameras
are only two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spa-
tial depth, it is diicult or impossible to make
out on-screen any holes there may be on the
ground, objects jutting out from the ground or
parts protruding from other vehicles.
Situations in which the objects or other vehi-
cles appear to be further away or closer than
they really are:
●
On moving from a horizontal plane to a
slope.
●
On moving from a slope to a horizontal
plane.
●
If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear.
●
If the vehicle approaches protruding objects.
These objects may be outside the cameras'
angle of visibility.
