you engage reverse gear.
The camera is positioned in the middle of
the roof above the high-mounted brake
lamp (

Rear-view camera
G Warning
The rear-view camera is only an aid and may
display potential obstacles in a skewed per-
spective, incorrectly or not at all. This system
does not relieve you of your obligation to pay
attention.
The camera is not able to display all objects
which may be located in the immediate vicin-
ity of the rear bumper and/or underneath
the rear bumper.
The rear-view camera will not provide you
with advance warning of a collision, persons
or objects. You are always responsible for
safety and must continue to pay attention to
your immediate surroundings when parking
and maneuvering.
This applies not only in the area to the rear of
your vehicle, but also in the area in front of
and to the side of it.
Failure to pay attention could mean that you
fail to notice persons or objects and, by con-
tinuing to drive, cause injury to persons or
damage to objects and your vehicle.
We recommend that you also use PARK-
TRONIC when parking your vehicle.
G Warning
The rear-view camera could function incor-
rectly or might not function at all if:
O it is raining or snowing very heavily, or if
there is thick fog
O you have parked your vehicle in a very
poorly lit location
O the camera is exposed to very bright
white light (white stripes could appear on
the monitor display)
O the surrounding area is lit by fluorescent
light (the monitor display could start to
flicker)
O the temperature changes suddenly (e.g.,
if you drive out of the cold and into a heat-
ed garage in the winter)
O ambient temperatures are very high
O the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
O the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In
this case, have the camera's position and
settings checked at an authorized Sprint-
er Dealer.
G Warning
Make sure that there are no persons or ani-
mals in or in the vicinity of the area in which
you are maneuvering your vehicle. They could
otherwise be injured.
