Only use the knurled screws supplied to fix the monitor in the monitor holder
(see fig. 8.B, page 9). Longer screws will damage the monitor.
The sun screen is fixed between the monitor holder and the monitor.

Mounting the external camera
If installing the camera alters the vehicle height or length specified in the vehi-
cle documents, this must be registered with the appropriate authorities. Make
sure that your certification is up-to-date.
Warning!
Select a location for the external camera or attach it so securely that it cannot
fall off and injure bystanders under any circumstances (e.g. by being knocked
off by branches brushing the roof of the vehicle).
As the external camera must be fixed at a height of at least 2 m to provide a
suitable view, ensure that you have a firm place from which to work when
installing the camera.

General installation instructions
Before you attach the external camera, observe the following points:
➤
To provide a suitable viewing angle, the camera must be attached at a height of at
least 2 m.
➤
Ensure that the installation location of the external camera is sufficiently firm (e.g.
it can be caught by branches brushing over the roof of the vehicle).
➤
Mount the camera horizontally and in the middle of the rear of the vehicle
(see fig. 9.C, page 10).
Lay out the camera cable so that should you need to remove the camera, you
can access the plug connection between the camera and the connection cable
easily. This considerably eases dismantling work.
The most secure type of attachment is with screws fitted through the construction. There
are several points that must be observed for this:
➤
Ensure that there is enough space behind the selected installation position for the
installation to be performed.
➤
Remember that suitable measures must be taken to prevent water penetrating
through the holes (e.g. by using screws and sealant and/or spraying the outer attach-
ment parts with sealant).
➤
Ensure that the location on the construction where you wish to attach the camera is
firm enough to allow the camera to be securely attached.
If you are not sure about the location you have chosen, consult the vehicle manufacturer
or dealer.
➤
Hold the camera on the chosen location and mark at least two different points for drill
holes (see fig. 10.A, page 11).
