About Your Multi-View Rear CameraFor models with navigation system, see Navigation System Manual.
The audio/information screen can display your vehicle’s rear view. The display
automatically changes to a rear view when the shift lever is moved to
(R.
You can view three different camera angles on the rearview display. Press the
selector knob to switch the angle.

■Multi-View Rear Camera Display Area
1About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see
the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects
appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing
up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do
not rely on the rearview display which does not give
you all information about conditions at the back of
your vehicle.
If the camera lens is covered with dirt or moisture,
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free
of debris.
