Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView® Rear
Back Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen
image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever
the shift lever is put into REVERSE. The image will be
displayed in the touchscreen display along with a caution
note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the
screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The

image to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its
projected backup path based on the steering wheel
position. A dashed center line overlay indicates the center
of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a
hitch/receiver.
When enabled, fixed guide lines are overlaid on the
image to illustrate the width of the vehicle.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the wind-
shield wiper/washer lever on the right side of the
steering column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by

the first detent for intermittent operation and to
the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pushed while in the intermittent setting, the
wiper will turn on and operate for several wipe
cycles after the end of the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
lever is released the pump will resume normal operation.

•Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera-
tional, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under
