The "Direct View" system helps the driver in the "dead angle" zone: from the headlamp to the B-pillar on the passenger side.

In this zone, the driver is not able to see objects or persons smaller than 1 meter.

If the system is switched on using the Exterior Rearview Mirror Camera Button -E697-, then the actual conditions (from the headlamp to the B-pillar) will appear in the display (Front Information Display Control Head -J685-) and the driver can react accordingly.

The camera (Camera in Exterior Rearview Mirror -R223-) and the switch (Exterior Rearview Mirror Camera Button -E697-) are switched on by the Rearview Camera System Control Module -J772-.

The "Direct View" system consists of:

The system automatically shuts down when the speed exceeds 25 km/h and is turned on when the speed is lower than 20 km/h. The system can be switched on or off by the Exterior Rearview Mirror Camera Button -E697-.
