Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
If available, the rear vision camera
displays a view of the area behind
the vehicle when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse). The
display will appear on either the
inside rearview mirror or navigation
screen, if equipped.
To clean the camera lens, located
above the license plate, rinse it with
water and wipe it with a soft cloth.
See Rear Vision Camera (RVC) on
page 9‑47.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
If available, Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) uses sensors on the
rear bumper to detect objects while
parking the vehicle. URPA comes
on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into R (Reverse) and
operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph). URPA uses audio beeps
to provide distance and system
information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
rear bumper clean to ensure proper
operation.
The URPA system can be turned
on and off using the infotainment
system controls. See Vehicle
Personalization on page 5‑30 for
more information.
See Ultrasonic Parking Assist on
page 9‑45 for more information.
Roof Rack System
The roof rack cross rails can be
locked in four positions along the
roof rack side rails. Lift the lever to
release and move the cross rail.
Push the lever down to completely
engage into the side rail holes. Slide
the cross rails back and forth until
the lock pins engage in the holes
and a click is heard.
When the roof rack is not in use,
lock one cross rail at the furthest
forward position and lock the other
cross rail at the furthest rearward
position to reduce wind noise. See
Roof Rack System on page 4‑2.
