Warning

G

The reverse warning feature signal could be
ignored by other road users. For this reason,
the reverse warning feature cannot guaran-
tee that there are no people or objects be-
hind your vehicle.

The reverse warning feature is a system
which helps you ensure the safety of other
road users. However, it does not relieve you

in any way from the responsibility of person-
ally ensuring that there are no people or ob-
jects behind your vehicle when reversing.

For this reason, always observe the road and
traffic conditions with due caution. Make
sure that there are no people or objects be-
hind your vehicle when reversing, in order to
avoid injuring people or damaging property.
If necessary, ask someone to direct you
when maneuvering.

i

The warning signal always sounds at

normal volume and must be turned

down again every time reverse gear

is engaged.
