running. If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears,
and your vehicle has been parked on level ground with
the engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level
should be checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to

dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and
placed low in your field of view.
Remember that the Night Vision System can only help
you see objects that are warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It can't sense things like brake lights, turn
signals or emergency flashers, traffic lights or signs.
