safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the
middle of the vehicle. The
camera does not cover the
complete area behind the
vehicle.

view monitor. As there are
blind spots that do not appear

up and parking, You must
always use methods of view-
ing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors.

pedestrians, and especially
children.

in winter or parking in an
indoor parking lot, the image
may temporarily be blurry due
