A
Peripheral view system
(Top View Camera)
Introduction
Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
resentation that is shown on the infotainment
system display. The cameras are located on the
radiator grille, the exterior mirrors and the rear
lid.
The functions and representations of the Area
View system may vary depending on whether
or not the vehicle has ParkPilot.
WARNING
The image from the cameras does not make
it possible to calculate the distance to the
obstacles (people, vehicles, etc.) precisely,
so using them could cause serious accidents
and injury.
●
The camera lenses augment and distort the
visual eld and the objects on the screen are
seen dierently and imprecisely.
●
Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be shown very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insuicient.
●
The cameras have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Top View Camera system cannot overcome
the limits imposed by the laws of physics
and it only works within the limits of the sys-
tem. The greater convenience provided by
the Area View system should never tempt
you to take any risk that may compromise
safety. If used negligently or involuntarily,
it may cause serious accidents and injuries.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style to
suit visibility, weather, road and traic condi-
tions.
●
Do not be distracted from the traic by
looking at the screen.
●
Monitor the area around the vehicle at
all times, since the cameras do not capture
small children, animals and certain objects in
all situations.
●
The system will probably be unable to rep-
resent all areas clearly.
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.
