Rear Assist rear-view camera are switched on if necessary.
Additional information and warnings:

WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction and skidding, particularly on slippery
roads. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle, causing accidents and
serious injuries.
- The kick-down function or fast acceleration should only be attempted if
the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions permit.

WARNING
Never ride the brake pedal. Do not over-use the brake pedal. Constant braking will
cause the brakes to overheat. This will considerably reduce the brake effect, increase
the braking distance and could cause the brake system to fail completely.

NOTICE
- Never let the brakes rub by applying light pressure when it is not necessary.
This will increase levels of wear.
- Before driving down a long, steep gradient, reduce speed and change to a
lower gear or move the selector lever to a lower gear position. This will make
use of the engine braking effect and relieve the load on the brakes. The brakes
could otherwise overheat and possibly fail. The brakes should only be used to
slow the vehicle down or to stop it.
