On models with navigation systemRefer to the navigation system
manual for operation of the rearview
camera.
On models without navigation systemYou can turn the camera display on
and off by pressing the power button
when the shift lever is in reverse.
The camera display turns on
everytime you shift to reverse, even if
you turned it off the last time.
Whenever you shift to reverse (R)
with the ignition switch in the ON
(II) position, the rearview appears on
a display in the rearview mirror.
For the best picture, always keep the
rearview camera clean, and do not
cover the camera lens. To avoid
scratching the lens when you clean
it, use a moist, soft cloth.
Since the rearview camera display
area is limited, you should always
back up slowly and carefully, and
look behind you for obstacles.
