WHAT IS THE REAR VIEW
CAMERA

The rear view camera provides a video
image of the area behind your vehicle when
the transmission is in reverse (R). During
operation, guide lines appear in the display
that represents the path of your vehicle
and proximity to objects behind it.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Reverse your vehicle

slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Use caution when the

rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image could be
incorrect. All guide lines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury.

WARNING:

Use caution when

turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving.

Note:

When towing, the camera only sees

what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage and you might not see
some objects. In some vehicles, the guide
lines may disappear when you connect the
trailer tow connector.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
LIMITATIONS

The system may not correctly operate in
any of the following conditions:
•

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

•

If the camera is obstructed. 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.
