Segments in the visual display

Do not continue driving farther.

WARNING

• The MMI display cannot show, or cannot adequately show, certain objects (such as small posts or grating), recesses in the ground and protruding parts on another car.
• Only use the rearview camera to assist you if it shows a good, clear picture. For example, the image may be affected by the sun shining into the lens, dirt on the lens or if there is a defect.
• Use the rearview camera only with the rear lid completely closed. Make sure any objects you may have mounted on the rear lid do not block the rearview camera.
