5.4 Switcher Loop Cables
The camera features three switcher loop cables (white, orange, green) to customize its functionality. After cutting any cable, remember to reconnect the power supply for changes to take effect. Cables can be reconnected if needed.

- Green Cable: Cut to disable the parking guideline display.
