General information
N00533000207
Your tire pressure monitoring system operates on a radio fre-
quency subject to Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules (For vehicles sold in U.S.A.) and Industry Canada
Rules (For vehicles sold in Canada). This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS- Gen of the Industry Canada

This device may not cause harmful interference.

This device must accept any interference received, includ-

Rear-view camera
(if so equipped)
N00546200085
When the gearshift lever (for vehicles with manual transaxle)
or the selector lever (for vehicles with automatic transaxle) is
in the “R” position with the ignition key in the “ON” position,
the rear-view camera image will be displayed on the left por-
tion of the inside rearview mirror.
When the gearshift lever or the selector lever is shifted out of

CAUTION
!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the manufacturer for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
WA R N I N G
!
Never rely solely on the rear-view camera to clear
the area behind your vehicle. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for persons, ani-
mals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so
can result in vehicle damage, serious injury or
death.
The rear-view camera is an aid system for backing
up, but it is not a substitute for your visual confir-
mation.
The view on the rear-view camera display is limited,
and objects outside the view, such as under the
bumper or around either corner of the bumper end,
cannot be seen on the display.
