The Park Distance Control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Park Distance Control might not be able to

detect some obstacles and may not react, may react late, or may react in a way that is undesired. If you do not take care, there is a risk of accidents and serious

injuries.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.

React quickly to the Park Distance Control visual warnings and chimes.

Apply the brakes using the brake pedal before encountering an obstacle.

NOTICE

The system will only provide visual and audible warnings for obstacles within the vehicle's path. The collision area has been reached, at the latest, when the

the driver to see behind the vehicle and

assists when parking.

System function

The Rear View Camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen. Depending on the mode and vehicle equipment, orientation

lines may assist in the view toward the rear ⇒

WARNING

The Rear View Camera system is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Using the camera image to estimate

the distance to people or obstacles may not be precise. If you do not take care, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.

Bear in mind that camera lenses can enlarge and distort the ﬁeld of vision.

The orientation lines superimposed on the camera image are shown by the system regardless of the vehicle's surroundings. There is no automatic obstacle

detection by the camera while it is active. The driver must evaluate whether the vehicle will fit in the parking space.

If a trailer is connected to the factory-installed trailer hitch, all orientation lines for the rear area are hidden in the camera image.

If a camera is installed in the trunk lid, the orientation lines are also hidden if the trunk lid is open.
