Rear view camera

Principle of operation

~1min read

The camera is a visual aid for use when reversing.

The camera does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.

If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the camera briefly from a distance not less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).

Do not apply pressure to the camera.

The position and the angle of the camera automatically changes. Note: Keep the camera free from dirt, ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects, degreaser, wax or organic products. Use only a soft cloth.

During operation, guide lines appear in the display which represent your vehicle's path and approximate distance from rearward objects.
