The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle.

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

The camera is located on the trunk.

Using the Rear View Camera System

The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in R. The system uses fixed guidelines which show the actual path the vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning the vehicle with another object behind the vehicle.

In some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear once the trailer tow connector is engaged.

• 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.

Guidelines

A. Rear bumper
B. Fixed guideline: Red zone
C. Fixed guideline: Yellow zone
D. Fixed guideline: Green zone

The fixed guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position.

Always use caution while reversing. 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 view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of the vehicle.

Rear Camera Delay

On vehicles without a navigation system, the camera image in the rear view mirror remains on for a few seconds to assist in parking or attaching a trailer.

On vehicles with a navigation system, the camera image remains in the display until the vehicle speed reaches 8 km/h. This occurs when the rear camera delay feature is on, or until a radio button is selected. Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF. The default setting for the rear camera delay is OFF.
