The rear view monitor activates when the ignition is on and the shift lever is in the R (reverse) position.

This system is a supplemental system that displays the area behind the vehicle on the audio screen when backing up.

  • It is the driver's responsibility to always check the interior/exterior rearview mirrors and the area behind the vehicle before and while backing up.
  • Always keep the camera lens clean. If the lens is covered with foreign matter, the camera may not operate normally.

WARNING - Rear view camera

Never rely solely on the rear view camera. You must always use other means of viewing the area behind you, including looking over both shoulders and constantly checking all three rearview mirrors. Because it is difficult to ensure the area behind you remains clear, always back up slowly and stop immediately if you suspect a person, especially a child, may be behind you.
