REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rearview camera system located
on the liftgate provides a video
image, which appears in the
rearview mirror or on the navigation
screen (if equipped), of the area
behind the vehicle. It adds
assistance to the driver while
reversing or reverse parking the
vehicle.
To use the camera, place the transmission in R (Reverse); an image will
display on the left portion of the rearview mirror or on the navigation
screen (if equipped). 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) Centerline 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.
Image delay if displayed through the rearview mirror:
When shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any other gear, the image in
the rearview mirror will remain on for a few seconds before it shuts off
to assist in parking or trailer hookup.
Image delay if displayed through the Navigation screen:
After shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any gear other than P (Park),
the image in the navigation screen 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 camera delay is off. Press the
“Settings” button found on the navigation screen (if equipped) to set the
camera delay feature to on or off.
When towing, the camera 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 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 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 reverse camera.
WARNING:The camera 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.
WARNING:Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.
WARNING:Do not use the camera with the liftgate open.
If the back end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, then check with your
authorized dealer to have your camera checked for proper coverage and
operation.
Night time and dark area use
At night time or in dark areas, the camera 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, at least in the dark,
until the lamp(s) are replaced and functioning.
