changes to the rear view when the shift lever is moved to Reverse.
You can view three different camera angles on the rearview display. Press the
interface dial 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.
