How it works? The cameras are mounted on four sides of the car: two in the side mirrors, the rear under the lower edge of the tailgate and the front in the Nissan nameplate on the radiator grille.

The screen image is divided in half: one part is a front or back view (depending on the direction of movement), the other part is a 360-degree view itself.
