•Up to 256 files or folders can be displayed in one folder.
•Not compatible with discs written in Packet Write mode.
•Only the photograph(s) which meet these conditions will be displayed.
Note:When burning a CD, ensure that you ‘close’ or ‘finalize’ the disc
when the CD-burning process finishes (you should select this option
before you start burning). Consult your software manual or the program’s
Help files if you’re not sure how to finalize the disc. Also, write the audio
data into the first session of a multi-session CD as audio systems won’t
be able to sort through other sessions to find more audio tracks.
Rearview camera display (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rearview camera on the tailgate
which provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. When the
transmission is in (R) Reverse, an image will automatically display on the
touchscreen. Once the vehicle is back in (D) Drive, the image will
continue to display until you are driving over 5 mph (8 km/h). To remove
this image from the screen, press any hard button on the mobile media
system.
When the vehicle is in Park (P), you
may press SETTINGS to make
adjustments to the brightness of the
display as well as the rearview
camera display.
When the rear camera delay
function is ON, it extends the
display of the camera image into
Drive mode until vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). This
is useful when trying to
engage/disengage a trailer.
Prior to using, ensure that the camera lens is clear of any debris, mud,
etc. and that both reverse lamps are operational if using at night. For
further information, please refer toRearview camera systemin the
Drivingchapter.

Deactivating high beams
The automatic high beams will deactivate if any of the following events
occur:
•An approaching vehicle’s headlights or a preceding vehicle’s tail lamps
are detected.
•The headlamp control is moved out of the autolamps position.
•The vehicle speed falls below 27 mph (43 km/h).
•The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not
needed.
•Severe rain, snow or fog is detected.
•The camera is blocked.
Note:Activating the multi-function lever will put the headlamps in
manual high beam mode (constant or flash-to-pass) until the lever is
returned to the neutral position. To manually override the auto high
beam and go to low beam, the headlamp control must be taken out of
the
(autolamp) position. For severe fog on freeways, or severe fog
in low traffic situations, use of fog lamps is recommended.
Setting auto high beam sensitivity
The automatic high beam system has two sensitivity settings. The default
setting is near. If you would like the high beams to turn off when traffic
is further away, the sensitivity setting can be changed to far. The
procedure is as follows:
Preconditions:
•Vehicle is at a stop.
•Ignition is in the on position.
•The headlamp control is in the
position.
•High-beams are off.
Programming Sequence:
1. Turn the headlamp control from
(on) to(autolamp) three
times within two seconds, ending in
(on).
2. Cycle flash-to-pass three times using the multi-function lever.
3. The high beams will flash momentarily to confirm that the sensitivity
setting has been changed.

Note: The programming sequence will end if either of the following
occur:
•The vehicle speed is not zero.
•The battery voltage is out of normal range.
Troubleshooting
If the automatic high beam camera becomes blocked, the high beams
may not come on automatically. They will only activate when they are
manually turned on with the multi-function lever.
Typical road dust, dirt and water spots will not affect the automatic high
beam system’s performance. However, in cold or inclement weather
conditions, the automatic high beam system’s availability may be
decreased. In such conditions, the manual override may be used to turn
the high beams on or off.
For significant blockages (e.g. bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or ice),
the automatic high beam system uses a blocked sensor computer
program. If a blockage is detected and no changes are observed, the
system will go into low beam mode until the blockage is cleared. If
blockages are repeatedly detected, the system will stay in low beam
mode for the remainder of the ignition cycle unless the system is able to
begin detecting other vehicles again.
If it appears that automatic control of the high beams is not functioning
properly, check the windshield in front of the camera for blockage.
Flash-to-pass
Pull and release to activate.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the front fog lamps on.
To activate:
•the ignition must be in the on position,
•the headlamp control is in the off, autolamps or parking lamp position

REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
The rearview camera system,
located on the liftgate, provides a
video image, which appears on the
navigation system screen, of the
area behind the vehicle. It adds
assistance to the driver while
reversing or reverse parking the
vehicle.
To use the camera system, place the transmission in R (Reverse); an
image will display on the navigation screen. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to the vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
•(1) Rear bumper
•(2) Red zone
•(3) Yellow zone
•(4) Green zone
•(5) Center line of vehicle
Always use caution while backing.
Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the
green zone are further away. Objects
are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to
the yellow or red zones.
Use the side mirrors and rearview mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle. When shifting out of reverse and into any
other gear, the image will remain on for a few seconds before it shuts off
to assist in parking or trailer hookup.
After shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any gear other than P (Park),
the image will remain until the vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h),
only if the rear camera delay feature is on, or until any navigation radio
button is pressed.
Note:The default setting for the rear camera delay is off. Press the
“Settings” button found on the navigation screen to set the rear camera
delay feature to on or off.

When towing, the camera system will only see what is being towed
behind the vehicle; this might not provide adequate coverage as it
usually provides in normal operation and some objects might not be
seen.
The camera lens for the camera is located on the liftgate. Keep the lens
clean so the video image remains clear and undistorted. Clean the lens
with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
Note:If the camera system image is not clear or seems distorted, it may
be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other substance. If
this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the camera system.
WARNING:The camera system is a reverse aid supplement
device that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with
the rearview mirror and the side mirrors for maximum coverage.
WARNING:Objects that are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera system.
WARNING:Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.
WARNING:Do not use the camera system with the liftgate
open.
If the back end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, then check with your
authorized dealer to have your rear video system checked for proper
coverage and operation.
Night time and dark area use
At night time or in dark areas, the camera system relies on the reverse
lamp lighting to produce an image. Therefore it is necessary that both
reverse lamps are operating in order to get a clear image in the dark. If
either of the lamps are not operating, stop using the camera system, at
least in the dark, until the lamp(s) are replaced and functioning.
Servicing
•If the image comes on while the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), have
the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
•If the image is not clear, then check if there is anything covering the
lens such as dirt, mud, ice, snow, etc. If the image is still not clear
after cleaning, have your system inspected by your authorized dealer.
