Renault Kardian
If fitted on the vehicle, the four cameras 1, 2 and 3 located in the front bumper, door mirrors and tailgate help you with difficult manoeuvres.
The cameras transmit four separate views to the screen 4, making it possible to view the area around the vehicle.
Note: make sure that the cameras are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensation, etc.).
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.
Activating the system
With the ignition on, the system may be activated:
- in automatic mode, on changing into reverse gear: the system is activated and the camera located on the tailgate provides a view of the environment to the rear of the vehicle on the 4 screen.
in manual mode, by pressing switch 5: the system is activated and the camera located in the front bumper transmits a view of the surroundings at the front of the vehicle on 4 screen.
Note: depending on the vehicle, certain settings can be adjusted from the screen 4. Refer to the multimedia instructions.
Automatic mode
Automatic mode is activated when reverse gear is engaged and the screen 4 shows the rear camera view. When there is a quick change from reverse gear to forward gear, the screen 4 shows the image transmitted from the front camera.
Automatic mode is deactivated:
- by selecting another camera view from the menu on the screen 4;
- automatically as soon as you reach approximately 12 mph (20 km/h);
- by deactivating the system, refer to the information on "Multi-view camera - Deactivating the system".
Manual mode
To activate it, select the desired camera view from the menu on the screen 4.
A message appears on the 4 screen for approximately five seconds to confirm the activation of manual mode.
Manual mode is deactivated:
- automatically as soon as you reach about 12 mph (20 km/h);
- by deactivating the system, refer to the "Multi-view camera - Deactivating the system" paragraph.
Reversing camera 3
If the rear camera is activated automatically or manually, the view from the camera is displayed on the screen 4.
Fixed guide lines 6
The fixed gauge includes coloured markers A, B and C indicating the distance behind the vehicle:
- A (red) at approximately 30 centimetres from the vehicle;
- B (yellow) at approximately 70 centimetres from the vehicle;
- C (green) at approximately 150 centimetres from the vehicle.
tip
The image displayed on the multimedia screen may seem faster than reality.
Moving guide line 7
This is shown in blue on the multimedia screen 4. It indicates the vehicle trajectory according to the position of the steering wheel.
tip
The frames are a representation projected onto flat ground; this information must not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an object on the ground.
Front camera 1
If the front camera is activated automatically or manually, the view from the camera is displayed on the screen 4.
Fixed guide lines 8
The fixed guide line comprises coloured markers D,E and F indicating the distance behind the vehicle:
- D (red) at approximately 30 centimetres from the vehicle;
- E (yellow) at approximately 70 centimetres from the vehicle;
- F (green) at approximately 150 centimetres from the vehicle.
tip
The frames are a representation projected onto flat ground; this information must not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an object on the ground.
warning
An area of 30 cm in front of the vehicle is not recognised by the system and does not appear on the screen. Remember this area.
Risk of damage to the vehicle.
Side cameras 2
The cameras 2 installed in the door mirrors transmit the side views to the screen 4.
To activate the desired camera view, select it on the screen 4.
See the multimedia equipment instructions for further information.
Deactivating the system
The system may be deactivated:
- when the vehicle is travelling faster than about 12 mph (20 km/h);
- depending on the vehicle, when the gear lever is moved to position P or N in automatic mode;
- by pressing the switch 5.
Difference between the estimated distance and actual distance
Driving or reversing towards a steep uphill slope
The fixed guidelines 6 show the distances as closer than they actually are.
The objects shown on the screen are actually further away on the slope.
For example, if the screen displays an object at G, the actual distance of the object is at H.
Driving or reversing towards a steep downhill slope
The fixed guidelines 6 show the distances as further than they actually are.
Therefore, the objects shown on the screen are actually closer on the slope.
For example, if the screen displays an object at J, the actual distance of the object is at K.
Driving or reversing towards a protruding object
Position L seems further than position M on the screen. However, position L is at the same distance as position N.
The trajectory indicated by the fixed and mobile guidelines do not take into account the height of the object. There is also a risk that the vehicle may collide with the object when reversing towards position N.
