WARNING: Use caution when using the rear video camera and
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
(if enabled) have been removed when the liftgate is ajar.

WARNING: Use caution when turning camera features on or off
while in R (Reverse). Make sure the vehicle is not moving.

The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle. The image will be displayed in either in the rear view mirror
or the display in the center of the instrument panel.

During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your
vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind the vehicle.

The camera is located in the rear of
the vehicle near the license plate. It
can be found in either location
depending on the vehicle model.

Using the Rear View Camera System

The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when
you place the transmission in R (Reverse). The system uses three types
of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
1. Active guidelines: Show the intended path of the vehicle when

reversing.

2. Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path the vehicle is moving in while

reversing in a straight line, which can be helpful when backing into a
parking space or aligning the vehicle with another object behind the
vehicle.

3. Centerline: Helps align the center of the vehicle with an object (i.e. a

trailer).

Note: If the transmission is in R (Reverse) and the trunk/liftgate is ajar,
no rear view camera features are displayed.

Note: If the image comes on while the transmission is not in R
(Reverse), have the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
