returns to its original position
when the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), or the ignition is turned
off or to OFF/LOCK.
Features and Controls 2-33

A fast ash may indicate that the
display has been on for the
maximum allowable time during a
reverse cycle, or the display
has reached an Over
Temperature limit.
The fast ash conditions are
used to protect the video device
from high temperature
conditions. Once conditions
return to normal the device will
reset and the green indicator will
stop ashing.
During any of these fault conditions,
the display will be blank and the
indicator will continue to ash as long
as the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or
until the conditions return to normal.
Briey pressing
zwhen the left
indicator light is ashing will turn off
the video display along with the
left indicator light.
