REAR VIEW CAMERA(If Equipped)

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.

Reverse your vehicle as slow as

possible, higher speeds may limit

your reaction time to stop your

vehicle.

The camera is on the liftgate.

Using the Rear View Camera

System

Use caution when the liftgate is ajar.

If the liftgate is ajar, the camera will

be out of position and the video

image may be incorrect. All guidelines

disappear when the liftgate is ajar. Some

vehicles may not come equipped with

guidelines.

The rear view camera system displays

what is behind your vehicle when you place

the transmission in reverse (R).

The system uses three types of guides to

help you see what is behind your vehicle:

•

Active guidelines: Show the intended

path of your vehicle when reversing.

Use caution when turning camera

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.

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 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.

Access the rear view camera system

settings through the information display.

See General Information (page 91).

After changing a system setting, the

display screen shows a preview of the

selected features.

better coverage on both sides and rear of

your vehicle.
