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.

Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your
reaction time to stop your vehicle.

Use caution when using the rear
video camera and the luggage
compartment door is ajar. If the

luggage compartment door is ajar, the
camera will be out of position and the
video image may be incorrect. All
guidelines disappear when the luggage
compartment door is ajar.

Use caution when turning camera
features on or off. 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.

The camera is located on the luggage
compartment door.

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).

Note: The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 7 mph (12 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.

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.

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.

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 display.
