- In certain situations, people or objects in
the display appear closer or farther away:
- For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a trailer hitch or the rear of a truck . Do not
use the orientation lines in this case.
- If driven from a level surface onto an in ­
cline, or a downward slope.
- If driven toward protruding objects.
- If the vehicle is carrying too much load in the rear.
- Applies to: vehicles with air suspension: the
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
