Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver. The image is provided in the touch screen
only, with an indication of the limit of the rear
bumpers (red line) and the general direction of
the vehicle (blue lines).
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The field of vision covered by the camera is
limited: objects in the immediate proximity of
the bumper or located below it are not visible.
The camera's wide-angle lens deforms the
image presented in the screen: the distances
visible in the screen may be different from
the true distances. This deformation varies
according to the loading of the vehicle and the
slope of the road.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens. Never reverse the vehicle looking only
at the screen.

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and
broken lines.

30 mph (50 km/h)).
This system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.

regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
