WARNING

  • Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the Rear- View Monitor system could result in serious injury or death.
  • RearView Monitor is a convenience feature and is not a substitute for proper backing. Always turn and look out the windows and check mirrors to be sure that it is safe to move before operating the vehicle. Always back up slowly.
  • The system is designed as an aid to the driver in showing large stationary objects directly behind the vehicle, to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
  • The distance guide line and the vehicle width line should be used as a reference only when the vehicle is on a level paved surface. The distance viewed on the monitor is for reference only and may be different than the actual distance between the vehicle and displayed objects.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the camera.

The RearView Monitor system automatically shows a rear view of the vehicle when the shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse) position.

Press the CAMERA button (if so equipped) while in the R (Reverse) position to cycle through guideline options. The radio can still be heard while the RearView Monitor is active.

  • Underneath the bumper and the corner areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on the RearView Monitor because of its monitoring range limitation. The system will not show small objects below the bumper, and may not show objects close to the bumper or on the ground.
  • Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used.
  • Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear visually opposite compared to when viewed in the rearview and outside mirrors.
  • Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear visually opposite compared to when viewed in the rearview and outside mirrors.
  • Use the displayed lines as a reference.

    The lines are highly affected by the number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road conditions and road grade.

  • Make sure that the trunk is securely closed when backing up.
  • Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is installed above the license plate.
  • When washing the vehicle with high pressure water, be sure not to spray it around the camera. Otherwise, water may enter the camera unit causing water condensation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.

  • When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display objects.
  • When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
  • Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from the bumper.
  • The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
  • The colors of objects on the RearView Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual color of objects.
  • Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a dark environment.
  • There may be a delay when switching between views.
