Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) –

introduction

The Park Assist Camera is designed to provide
the driver with a view of the area behind the vehi-
cle when backing up.

Introduction

PAC uses the display in the center console to
show the area behind the car while you are back-
ing up.

PAC also shows guiding lines in the on-screen
image to indicate the direction that the vehicle
will take as it moves rearward, which helps sim-
plify parallel parking, backing into a tight space or
when attaching a trailer to the vehicle.

The images of vehicles in this section are generic
and may not depict your specific model.

NOTE

A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with
the vehicle's electrical system will be taken
into account when measuring the available
space behind the vehicle.

WARNING

•

PAC is designed to be a supplementary
aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driver’s
attention and judgment.

•

The camera has blind spots where it can-
not detect objects or people around or
near the vehicle.

•

Pay particular attention to people or ani-
mals that are close to the vehicle.

•

Objects seen on the screen may be
closer than they appear to be.

function

Function

The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and if
a person or animal should suddenly appear from
the side.

PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the opening
handle.

The camera has built-in electronics that help
reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the image
shown on the screen is as natural as possible.
This may cause some objects on the screen to
“lean,” which is normal.

DRIVER SUPPORT

Ambient lighting conditions

The camera automatically monitors the ambient
lighting conditions behind the vehicle and con-
stantly adjusts sensitivity to light. This may cause
the brightness and quality of the image on the
screen to vary slightly. Sensitivity to light is
increased in dark conditions or in bad weather,
which may affect image quality.

If the image on the screen seems too dark,
brightness can be increased with the thumb
wheel on the lighting panel.

NOTE

In order to function properly, the camera lens
should always be kept clean. This is particu-
larly important in bad weather. Keep the lens
free of dirt, ice or snow.

operation

Activation

PAC is activated when the gear selector is moved
to R if the system is selected in the MY CAR
menu system or by pressing the CAM button in
the center console. See My Car – introduction
(p. 79) for a description of the menu system.

If PAC is not activated when the gear selector is
moved to R, press the CAM button on the center
console.

PAC will automatically override the view currently
on the screen and will display the camera's view
behind the vehicle.

Trailer hitches

The camera can be useful when attaching a
trailer. With the camera zoomed in on the trailer

hitch, a guiding line showing the hitch's path
toward the trailer will be projected.

The guiding lines for the wheels and for the
trailer hitch cannot be displayed at the same
time. To select a view:

1. Press OK/MENU when a camera view is dis-

played.

2. Turn TUNE to scroll to

Tow bar trajectory

guide line

3. Confirm by pressing OK/MENU and press

EXIT.

Zoom

When necessary, the camera view can be
zoomed:

•

Press CAM or turn TUNE. Pressing or turn-
ing again returns you to normal view.

If there are additional alternatives, press/turn
until the desired camera view is displayed.

Automatic zoom

is a feature that is available on

models equipped with a trailer hitch and the
optional (p. 238)Park assist system. With this
alternative selected, the camera will zoom in on
the trailer hitch automatically if the vehicle
approaches an object/trailer.

See also the "Settings" section below.

Deactivation

Move the gear selector from R to another gear.
The camera remains active for approx. 5 seconds
after the gear selector has been moved from R or
until the vehicle's forward speed exceeds
6 mph/10 km/h (21 mph/35 km/h in reverse).
The screen will then revert to the view that was
displayed before R was selected.

NOTE

If any button on the center console control
panel is pressed, the camera image will disap-
pear from the display. Pressing CAM will
return the camera image to the display.

Settings

By default, PAC is set to activate when the gear
selector is moved to R

To change PAC settings when a camera view is
displayed:

1. Press OK/MENU when a camera view is on

the screen. A menu will be displayed.

2. Turn TUNE to scroll to the desired setting.
3. Press OK/MENU to make the setting and

exit the menu by pressing EXIT.

Summary

•

Pressing CAM will activate the camera even
if the gear selector is not in Reverse.

•

Toggle between normal view and zoom by
pressing CAM or by turning TUNE.

guiding and marker lines

Guiding lines

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were a path on the ground behind the vehicle
and are directly affected by the way in which the
steering wheel is turned. This enables the driver
to see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she
turns the steering wheel while backing up.

NOTE

When backing up with a trailer, the trajectory
lines show the path that the vehicle will take,
not the trailer.

Trajectory lines will not be displayed while
zooming in.

WARNING

Keep in mind that the image on the screen
only shows the area behind the vehicle. The
driver must always watch for people, animals,
other vehicles, etc., near the sides of the vehi-
cle when turning while backing up.

Marker lines

The PAC system's lines

The unobstructed area behind the vehicle

"Wheel tracks"

The dashed line (1) indicates the clear zone of
approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the bumper.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (door mirrors, corners of the body, etc.)
extends out from the vehicle, even when it turns.

The "wheel tracks" (2) show where the wheels
will roll and can extend up to approximately

10.5 ft (3.2 m) behind the bumper if there are no
objects in the way.

Vehicles equipped with Park Assist

Colored markers (one for each sensor) indicate distance

If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Park
Assist system (see Park assist – introduction
(p. 238)), the distance to an object will be indi-
cated more exactly and colored markers in the
display indicate which of the sensor(s) has
detected the object.

Color

Distance to object

Pale yellow

2.3–5 ft (0.7–1.5 m )

Yellow

1.6–2.3 ft (0.5–0.7 m)

Orange

1–1.6 ft (0.3–0.5 m)

Red

0–1 ft (0–0.3 m)

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) –

limitations

Limitations

Even if a fairly small section of the screen image
appears to be obstructed, this may mean that a
relatively large area behind the vehicle is hidden
and objects there may not be detected until they
are very near the vehicle.

NOTE

Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted
on the tailgate may obstruct the camera's
field of view.

Keep in mind

•

Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and
snow. Remove ice and snow carefully to
avoid scratching the lens.

•

Clean the lens regularly with warm water and
a suitable car washing detergent.

BLIS* – introduction

The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an
information system that indicates the presence
of another vehicle moving in the same direction
as your vehicle on roads with several lanes.

Location of the BLIS indicator light

Indicator light

BLIS symbol

BLIS and CTA

are activated when the engine is

started; this is confirmed when the indicator
lights on the front door panels flash once.

NOTE

The door panel indicator light illuminates on
the side of the vehicle where the system has
detected another vehicle. If your vehicle is
passed on both sides at the same time, both
lights will illuminate.

The system helps provide information about:

•

Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind
area"

•

Vehicles that are about to pass your vehicle
in the left and/or right lanes

•

Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supplemen-
tary BLIS function intended to detect vehi-
cles crossing behind your vehicle while you
are backing up.

The illustration is generic; certain details may vary from model to model

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

WARNING

•

BLIS and CTA are information systems,
NOT warning or safety systems and do
not function in all situations.

•

BLIS and CTA do not eliminate the need
for you to visually confirm the conditions
around you, and the need for you to turn
your head and shoulders to make sure
that you can safely change lanes or back
up.

•

As the driver, you have full responsibility
for changing lanes/backing up in a safe
manner.
