Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
resentation that is shown on the infotain-
ment system display. The cameras are loca-
ted on the radiator grille, the exterior mirrors
and the rear lid.
The functions and representations of the
Area View system may vary depending on
whether or not the vehicle has ParkPilot. WARNING
The image from the cameras does not make it
po s

sible to calculate the distance to the ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) precisely, so
using them could cause serious accidents
and injury.
● The camera lenses augment and distort the
vi

sual field and the objects on the screen are
seen differently and imprecisely.
● Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be sho
wn very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insufficient. ●
The c amer

as have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
● The camera lens must be kept free, without
sno
w or ice, and should not be covered. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Ar e

a View system cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics and it only
works within the limits of the system. The
greater convenience provided by the Area
View system should never tempt you to take
any risk that may compromise safety. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause se-
rious accidents and injuries. The system is
not a replacement for driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
vi

sibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
lookin
g at the screen.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, s
ince the cameras do not capture small
children, animals and certain objects in all
situations.
● The use of a number plate may interfere in
the v
iews shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
● The system will probably be unable to rep-
re

sent all areas clearly. » 247
