mation.The view on the screen is limited, and objects out-
side the view, such as under the bumper or around
either corner of the bumper end, cannot be seen on
the screen.

!If the camera lens gets dirty, a clear image cannot be
obtained. As necessary, rinse the lens with clean
water and gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth.To avoid damaging the camera;
• Do not rub the cover excessively or polish it by
using an abrasive compound.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Do not splash hot water directly on the lens.
• Do not spray the camera and its surroundings with
high-pressure water.
• Make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when
backing up.
