Rear Assist system*
Introduction
The camera fitted to the tailgate helps drivers during parking or reversing
manoeuvres. The camera image and certain orientation points generated by
the system are indicated on the factory-fitted radio or navigation system
screen.
Two types of location point (modes) can be selected:
x Mode 1: reverse parking perpendicular to the road (e.g. in a car park).
x Mode 2: reverse parking parallel to the curb.
The mode can be changed by pressing the button on the radio or navigation
system screen. Only the mode to which the points can be changed will be
displayed.
Additional information and warnings:
x Accessories, parts replacement, repairs and modifications page 285
WARNING
Use of the camera to calculate the distance from obstacles (people, vehi-
cles, etc.) is inaccurate and may cause accidents and severe injuries.
x The camera lens expands and distorts the field of vision and displays
the objects on the screen in a different, vague manner.
x Some objects may not be displayed or may not be very clear (e.g. very
thin posts or fences), due to the resolution of the monitor or if the light is
dim.
x The camera has blind spots in which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered.
x Keep the camera lens clean and clear of snow and ice. Do not cover it.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the rear assist system cannot change the
limits imposed by the laws of physics and by the system itself. Careless or
uncontrolled use of the rear assist system may result in severe injuries and
accidents. The system is not a replacement for driver awareness.
x Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather conditions.
x Always keep a close eye on the area around the vehicle and always look
towards where you are parking. The display shows the path of the rear end
of the vehicle using the current steering angle. The front of the vehicle
turns more in comparison with the rear.
x Do not be distracted from the traffic when looking at the screen.
x Always observe the area around the vehicle, as the cameras do not
always detect children, animals or objects.
x The system might not show all areas clearly.
x Only use the rear assist system when the tailgate is completely closed.
Caution
x The camera only displays 2D images on the screen. Due to the lack of
depth, it might be difficult or impossible to recognise protruding objects or
cracks in the road.
x The cameras may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails,
fences, posts and trees, etc. This could result in damage to your car.
