2e) Commissioning of the rearview camera and the digital inside rearview
mirror
After the rearview camera has been electrically connected to the digital
inside rearview mirror via the connecting point in the driver seat frame, the
system performs an auto-calibration during driving operation. For this
purpose, the horizon must be visible in the digital inside rearview mirror
