Check Entire Surroundings on Rearview Camera Display

I know this is to cover MB's *** type of warning but why not fade it or make it disappear after a few seconds. You can't see cars coming down the street because of this stupid warning. WTF!!

I think the point is that you should use/turn your head to look rather than rely solely on the camera.

IMHO, if you rely soley on the back up camera, you'r an accident looking for a place to happen!

I didn't said I rely solely on the camera but the warning is just get in the way of the view and make it less effective.

Couldn't agree with you more!! The words block the view and distract attention, making the camera use more dangerous. A fade away makes perfect sense.
