How to Use the Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
The usage method of the rearview camera: 1. The rearview camera will automatically activate when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear; 2. The image displayed by the rearview camera is captured in real-time by the rear camera. Due to the distortion caused by the camera's imaging, it can easily lead to misjudgment of obstacle distances by the driver. Therefore, when judging distances, it is advisable to rely on the more accurate distance feedback provided by the parking sensors; 3. Almost all rearview cameras come with a parking trajectory system. This system simulates the wheel's path using two dashed lines, which will deflect as the steering wheel is turned, thereby further enhancing parking safety.
I often use the reversing camera in my daily driving, and it's super convenient when backing up. The basic operation is quite intuitive: when you shift into reverse gear, the system automatically activates, displaying a real-time view of the rear on the central screen with guiding lines to help judge the distance from obstacles. I usually reverse slowly, checking both the screen and the rearview mirror to observe the surroundings—never just stare at the screen and ignore the actual environment. It's good practice to regularly wipe the camera lens with your hand after parking to prevent dust or rain from affecting image clarity. If the guiding lines don’t appear or are misaligned, simply check the adjustment options in the settings menu. The reversing camera is especially useful in rainy weather or at night, reducing blind-spot risks, but remember it’s an assistive tool, not full self-driving, so I always combine it with my driving experience to reverse slowly and ensure safety. After using several cars, I’ve found this feature particularly friendly for new drivers, saving them from many parking mistakes.
