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: Do not switch the

camera features on or off when your

vehicle is moving.
