Only use the image from the rear view cam-
era as a guide. You may otherwise damage
your vehicle and/or the object.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immedi-
ate surroundings. You are responsible for
safe maneuvering, parking and pulling away.
When maneuvering, parking and pulling away,
make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects in the maneuvering area.
The rear view camera is a visual parking aid.
Information on operation can be found in the
separate Audio 15 supplement.
