3. Rear trunk above license plate - rear view camera

And windshield clean, you should be good.
I don't think these 4 cameras mentioned are ever used for assistance — they are just for humans and drive recorder, not computers. In addition to the various radar points, the KAFAS triple camera used for DAP is at the top of the windshield out-looking opposite the rear view mirror mount. A windshield wipe with fluid gets that clean.
Oh ja, I conflated the questions 1 and 2. Meaning for winter just keep the cameras clean and later for DAP. TY for the clarification.
And it's also more complicated: I think the users cameras ARE used for parking automation.
Yep parking automation - clearance next to objects and with Off-Road package for checking clearance off-road.
