Do not assume a camera view means footage is being recorded. Confirm the storage device, status indicator and saved file before relying on it.
Do this in order
- Check whether the UK vehicle includes the recording feature and required storage hardware.
- Use only the storage type, capacity and format specified in the handbook.
- Confirm the recording indicator after installation or formatting.
- Make a short test, park safely and verify that the file can be played back.
- Export important footage promptly and protect personal information.
What to check before trying again
Look for storage-full, unsupported-device, write-speed or permission messages. Recording availability may be limited by market, privacy rules or software.
Model and software boundary
Camera equipment and recording functions differ across markets and XOS versions. UK owners are responsible for lawful, proportionate use and secure handling of identifiable footage.
