Warning! G
Please note that objects which do not
touch the ground, such as the bumper of a
vehicle parked behind you, a trailer hitch,
or the back of a truck, may appear to be
further away than they actually are. In this
case, you should not use the guide lines to
judge distance as the use of the guide lines
to judge distance increases the risk of im-
pacting the objects.
Even when the object you approach is di-
rectly on the ground (and nothing on the
object extends above the ground beyond
the object’s contours directly touching the
ground) and no objects that do not touch
the ground, such as the bumper of a vehi-
cle parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or
the back of a truck are in the path, do not
approach the object on the ground any
closer than red guide line 2.
