REAR VIEW CAMERA

WARNINGS

The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that
still requires the driver to use it in

conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage.

Objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the

screen due to the limited coverage of the
camera system.

Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make

sure your vehicle is not moving.

The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your
vehicle.

During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle’s
proximity to objects behind your vehicle.

E236446

The camera is located below the license
plate.

Using the Rear View Camera
System

The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you place
the transmission in reverse (R).

The system uses fixed guidelines to help
you see what is behind your vehicle. Fixed
guidelines show the path your vehicle is
moving while reversing in a straight line.
This can be helpful when backing into a
parking space.

The camera may not operate correctly
under the following conditions:
•

Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse
lamps are not operating.

•

Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view.  Clean the lens with a
soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive
cleaner.

•

The camera is misaligned due to
damage to the rear of your vehicle.

Camera Guidelines

Note: Fixed guidelines are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R).

E243771

Centerline

A

Fixed guideline: Red Zone

B

Fixed guideline: Yellow zone

C

Fixed guideline: Green zone

D

Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your
vehicle and objects in the green zone are
farther away. Objects are getting closer to
your vehicle as they move from the green
zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the
side view mirrors and rear view mirror to
get better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.

Manual Zoom

WARNING

When manual zoom is on, the full
area behind your vehicle may not
show. Be aware of your surroundings

when using the manual zoom feature.

Note: Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).

Selectable settings for this feature are
Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the
symbol in the camera screen to change the
view. The default setting is Zoom OFF.

This feature allows you to get a closer view
of an object behind your vehicle. The zoom
is only active while the transmission is in
reverse (R). When the transmission shifts
out of reverse (R), the feature
automatically turns off and must be reset
when it is used again.

Rear Camera Delay

You can select to have the rear camera
continue to display after shifting from
reverse (R).  See Settings (page 248).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNINGS

Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, in heavy traffic or when the
road surface is slippery. This could

result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.

When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed could increase above
the set speed. The system does not

apply the brakes.

Note: Cruise control disengages if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h) below the set speed when driving
uphill.
