To use the camera system, place the transmission in R (Reverse); an
image will display in the rear view mirror. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to the vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
• (1) Rear bumper
• (2) Red zone
• (3) Yellow zone
• (4) Green zone
Always use caution while backing.

Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the
green zone are further away. Objects
are getting closer to your vehicle as
they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones.
Use the side mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle.
The camera lens for the camera is located on the rear doors. Keep the
lens clean so that the video image remains clear and undistorted. Clean
the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
Note: If the camera system image is not clear or seems distorted, it may
be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other substance. If
this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the rear view camera
system.

WARNING: The camera system is a reverse aid supplement
device that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with

the rear view mirror and the side 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: Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.

WARNING: Do not use the camera system with the rear doors
open.
