Parking Aids (If Equipped)

The system uses three types of guides to

help you see what is behind your vehicle:

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.

•

Active guidelines: Show the intended

path of your vehicle when reversing.

•

Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path

your vehicle is moving in while reversing

in a straight line. This can be helpful

when backing into a parking space or

aligning your vehicle with another

object behind you.

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 path

and proximity to objects behind your

vehicle.

•

Centerline: Helps align the center of

your vehicle with an object (for

example, a trailer).

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)

and the luggage compartment is ajar, no

rear view camera features are displayed.

Note: If the image comes on while the

transmission is not in reverse (R), have the

system checked as soon as possible.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees

what is being towed behind your vehicle.

This might not provide adequate coverage

as it usually provides in normal operation

and some objects might not be seen. In

some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear

once the trailer tow connector is engaged.

Note: The camera may not operate

correctly under the following conditions:

•

Nighttime or dark areas if one or both

reverse lamps are not operating.

The camera's view is obstructed by

mud, water or debris. Clean the lens

with a soft, lint-free cloth and

non-abrasive cleaner.

The rear of your vehicle is hit or

damaged, causing the camera to

become misaligned.

•

Vehicles without spare wheel: camera

is located on swing gate applique.

Vehicles with spare wheel: camera is

•

mounted to the spare wheel bracket.

Camera Guidelines

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

exterior mirrors and rear view mirror to get

better coverage on both sides and rear of

your vehicle.

Note: Dynamic guidelines are only available

when the transmission is in reverse (R).

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).

Note: When manual zoom is enabled, only

the centerline is shown.

This allows you to get a closer view of an

object behind your vehicle. The zoomed

image keeps the bumper in the image to

provide a reference. The zoom is only

of reverse (R), the feature automatically

turns off and must be reset when it is used

again.
