CAUTION!
•To avoid vehicle damage, only use the Rear
Backup Camera as a parking aid, as the camera is
unable to capture every obstacle or object in your
drive path.
•To avoid vehicle damage, drive slowly when back-
ing up a vehicle so that you can stop in time when
an obstacle comes into view. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over their shoulder
when backing up a vehicle.
NOTE: If snow, ice, mud, or anything else builds up on
the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and dry
with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.
