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 three types

of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:

1. Active guidelines: Show the intended path of the vehicle when

reversing.

2. 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.

3. Centerline: Helps align the center of the vehicle with an object (i.e. a

trailer).

Note: If the transmission is in R (Reverse) and the trunk/liftgate is ajar,

no rear view camera features are displayed.

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 camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions:

• Nighttime or dark areas if one or both reverse lamps are not operating.

Do not use the rear view camera display when lighting is low until both

reverse lamps are functional.

• 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. Check with your authorized dealer to have the rear view

camera system checked for proper coverage and operation.

Adjusting the Rear View Camera Settings (If Equipped)

To access any of the rear view camera system settings, make the following

selections in the touch screen when the transmission is not in R (Reverse):

1. Menu

2. Vehicle

3. Rear View Camera

After changing a system setting, the touch screen shows a preview of the

feature(s) selected.
