Camera rear view
Camera rear view
Operating principle
Depending on the vehicle, the rear view may be shown by the camera 1.
Direct rear view by mirror remains available at all times.
The camera 1 is fitted behind the rear screen in the wiper area.
Make sure that the camera 1 is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensation, etc.).
When the ignition is switched on, the rear view mirror 2 mounted on the roof centre console displays the view behind the vehicle that is transmitted
by the camera 1.
Note:
- the camera display 1 is transmitted only if the rear view mirror is in "screen" mode. See the "Operation" section for more information;
- the rear view mirror 2 can be positioned horizontally and vertically.
WARNING
This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always ensure
that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
The camera's field of vision does not cover the entire area behind the vehicle, particularly
the blind spot area A.
Switching off the function
The display switches off immediately after the ignition is switched off.
Note: the "mirror" mode can be activated using the lever 3.
Tip
Depending on your vision, an adaptation time may be necessary to focus on the camera
view display.
Objects which appear on the edge of the door mirror 2 may be distorted.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in sunshine, etc.), the camera view may be partially
disturbed.
In low brightness or poor weather, the image on the screen may be distorted.
Operation
Use the lever 3 to switch between "mirror" mode and "screen" mode.
The green LED4 as well as the pictogram displayed at the top right of the rear view mirror indicates
that the screen mode is operating properly.
It disappears if you switch to "mirror" mode or in the event of a fault.
Tip
Each time the vehicle is started, the function returns to the settings saved at the
last engine stop.

Adjust the system field of vision and the door mirrors before driving. Be sure to
adjust the central rear view mirror before switching to "screen" mode.
Special features related to the reverse gear
When the vehicle is reversing, pay attention to the images transmitted by the reversing
camera (multimedia screen 9) in addition to the information available through the rear view mirror REVERSING CAMERA as there remains a rear view blind spot.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating fault, the rear view mirror 2 turns black, the pictogram displayed at the top right of the rear view mirror disappears and the LED 4 goes out.
This may be caused by a fault affecting the camera or screen (clearness, fixed image,
delayed communication etc.).
If the black background persists, switch to "mirror" mode and consult an approved
dealer.
