(Reverse) position.

REARVIEW CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Rearview
camera
The rear view camera is not a safe-
ty device. It only serves to assist
the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle. The camera does NOT
cover the complete area behind the
vehicle. While the camera's display
is generally accurate, objects can
be much closer than they appear in
the display screen and can be dis-
torted in both size and proportion.
WARNING - Backing &using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing. You must
always use methods of viewing the
area behind you including looking
over both shoulders as well as con-
tinuously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficulty of
ensuring that the area behind you
remains clear, always back slowly
and stop immediately if you even
suspect that a person, and espe-
cially a child, might be behind you.
