approximately 10 seconds. Return to
the previous screen sooner by
performing one of the following:
.Press a hard key on the
infotainment system.
.Shift into P (Park).
.Reach a vehicle speed of

Symbols and Guidelines
The RVC system may have a
feature that lets the driver view
caution symbols on the RVC screen
while using the RVC. The Rear
Parking Assist (RPA) system must
not be disabled to use these
symbols. See Parking Assist on
page 9-35.
The caution symbols appear when
an object has been detected by the
RPA system. The symbol may cover
the object when viewing the RVC
screen. The RVC system may have a
guideline overlay that can help the
driver align the vehicle when
backing into a parking spot.
To turn the symbols and guidelines
on or off:
1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press Settings on the Home
screen of the infotainment
system.
3. Select Display and then Rear Camera.
4. Select Symbols or Guidelines. When a checkmark appears next

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with RCTA, a red
warning triangle with an arrow may
also display on the RVC screen to
warn of traffic coming from either
direction, behind the vehicle. When
an object is detected, three beeps
sound on the left or right side,
depending on the direction of the
detected vehicle. This system detects objects coming from up to
20 m (65 ft) from the left or right side
behind the vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of your vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
The RCTA system can be disabled
through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See
Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5-23.
Rear Vision Camera Location
The camera is located above the
license plate.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited and does not display objects
that are close to either corner or
under the bumper. The area
displayed can vary depending on
vehicle orientation or road
conditions. Displayed images may
be farther or closer than they
appear.
