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 two types of
guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
1. 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.

2. Centerline: Helps align the center of the vehicle with an object

(i.e. a trailer).

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

Note: When towing, the camera only sees what is being towed behind
the 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 default setting for the camera delay is off. Press the Settings
button found on the navigation screen (if equipped) to set the camera
delay feature to on or off.

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 the vehicle is hit or damaged, causing the camera to

become misaligned.
