INTERIOR MIRROR
The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from SIDE to SIDE.
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror
Your vehicle is equipped with an
interior rear view mirror and a
driver’s side exterior mirror that has
an auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights
(glare) reach the interior mirror. When the interior mirror detects bright
light from behind the vehicle, the interior rear view mirror and the
driver’s side exterior mirror will automatically adjust (darken) to
minimize glare.
The mirrors will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Note:If equipped with a Reverse Camera System, a video image will
display in the mirror when the vehicle is put in (R) reverse. As you shift
into any other gear from (R) Reverse, the image will remain for a few
seconds and then turn off. Refer toReverse Camera Systemin the
Drivingchapter.

If your vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
REVERSE CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The reverse camera system, located
on the tailgate, provides a video
image (which appears in the rear
view mirror) of the area behind the
vehicle. It adds assistance to the
driver while reversing or reverse
parking the vehicle.
To use the reverse camera system,
place the transmission in R
(Reverse); an image will display on
the left portion of the rear view
mirror. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to the
vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
•(1) Centerline of vehicle
•(2) Rear bumper
•(3) Red zone
•(4) Yellow zone
•(5) Green zone
Always use caution while backing.

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 mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle. When shifting out of reverse and into any
other gear, the image will remain on for a few seconds before it shuts off
to assist in parking or trailer hookup.
When towing, the reverse camera system will only see 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.
The camera lens for the reverse camera system is located on the tailgate,
near the tailgate handle. Keep the lens clean so the video image remains
clear and undistorted. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.
Note:If the reverse camera system image is not clear or seems
distorted, it may be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other
substance. If this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the reverse
camera system.
The reverse camera system is a reverse aid supplement device
that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with the rear
view mirror and the side mirrors for maximum coverage.
Objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the screen due to the limited
coverage of the reverse camera system.
Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds might limit your
reaction time to stop the vehicle.
Do not use the reverse camera system with the tailgate open.
If the back end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, then check with your
authorized dealer to have your rear video system checked for proper
coverage and operation.

Nighttime and dark area use
At night time or in dark areas, the reverse camera system relies on the
reverse lamp lighting to produce an image. Therefore it is necessary that
both reverse lamps are operating in order to get a clear image in the
dark. If either of the lamps are not operating, stop using the reverse
camera system, at least in the dark, until the lamp(s) are replaced and
functioning.
Servicing
•If the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and the screen in the rear view mirror
appears blue for three seconds and turns blank afterwards, the camera
is not working properly; have the system inspected by your authorized
dealer.
•If the image comes on while the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), have
the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
•If the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and the screen is blank and no blue
screen is observed, the mirror is not working properly; have the
system inspected by your authorized dealer.
•If the image is not clear, then check if there is anything covering the
lens such as dirt, mud, ice, snow, etc. If the image is still not clear
after cleaning, have your system inspected by your authorized dealer.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
For important information regarding safe operation of this type
of vehicle, seePreparing to drive your vehiclein this chapter.
Four–wheel drive (4WD) supplies power to all four wheels. 4WD should
not be operated on dry pavement; driveline damage may occur.
If equipped with the Electronic Shift 4WD System, and 4WD Low
is selected while the vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5
km/h), the 4WD system will not engage past 4WD High. This is
normal and should be no reason for concern.Refer toShifting
to/from 4L (4WD Low)for proper operation.
