Rear View Camera
WARNING:
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.
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:
Reverse your vehicle as slow as possible, higher speeds may limit your reaction time to stop your vehicle.
WARNING:
Use caution when the tailgate is ajar. If the tailgate is ajar, the camera will be out of position and the video image may be incorrect. All guidelines disappear when the tailgate is ajar. Some vehicles may not come equipped with guidelines.
WARNING:
Use caution when turning camera features on or off when the transmission is not in park (P). Make sure your vehicle is not moving. |
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you shift the transmission into reverse (R).
During operation, lines appear in the display that represents the path of your vehicle and proximity to objects behind it.
The rear view camera is located on the tailgate.
Using the Rear View Camera System
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 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 tailgate is ajar, no rear view camera features are displayed.
Note:
If the image does not turn off while the transmission is not in reverse (R) and you are driving over a speed of
5 mph (8 km/h), have the system inspected by an authorized dealer.
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.
The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions:- Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse lamps are not operating.
- Mud, water or debris obstructs the camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
- The camera is misaligned due to damage to the rear of your vehicle.
Camera Guidelines
Note:
Active guidelines and fixed guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note:
The centerline is only available if Active or Fixed guidelines are on.
Note:
Some vehicles may not come equipped with guidelines.

To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel to point the guidelines toward an intended path. If the steering wheel position is changed while reversing, the vehicle might deviate from the original intended path.
The active guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position. The active guidelines are not shown when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of your vehicle.
Obstacle Distance Indicator
The system will provide an image of your vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones will highlight green, yellow and red when the parking aid sensors detect an object in the coverage area.
Rear Camera Delay
Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF.
When shifting the transmission out of reverse (R) and into any gear other than park (P), the camera image remains in the display until:- Your vehicle speed sufficiently increases.
- You shift your vehicle into park (P).
- You apply the parking brake on vehicles with a manual transmission.
