WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
Around View® Monitor. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these sys-
tem limitations could result in serious in-
jury or death.
●Do not use the Around View® Monitor
with the outside mirrors in the stored
position, and make sure that the liftgate
is securely closed when operating the
vehicle using the Around View®
Monitor.
●The apparent distance between objects
viewed on the Around View® Monitor
differs from the actual distance.
●The cameras are installed on the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything
on the vehicle that covers the cameras.
●When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.●Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
There are some areas where the system will not
show objects and the system does not warn of
moving objects. When in the front or rear view
display, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed
1. When in the
bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
2of
the camera viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor.
The following are operating limitations and do not
represent a system malfunction:
●There may be a delay when switching be-
tween views.
●When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
●When strong light directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
●The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.●The colors of objects on the Around View®
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
●Objects on the Around View® Monitor may
not be clear and the color of the object may
differ in a dark environment.
●There may be differences in sharpness be-
tween each camera view of the bird’s-eye
view.
●Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

WARNING
●Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Moving
Object Detection system could result in
serious injury or death.
●The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with objects
surrounding the vehicle. When maneu-
vering, always use the outside mirrors
and rearview mirror and turn and check
the surroundings to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
●The system is deactivated at speeds
above 10 km/h (6 mph) . It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
●The MOD system is not designed to
detect surrounding stationary objects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of moving
objects near the vehicle when backing out of
garages, maneuvering in parking lots and in other
such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the image
shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically under
the following conditions:
●When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
●When the CAMERA button is pressed to
activate the camera view on the display.
●When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and the camera
screen is displayed.
The MOD system operates in the following con-
ditions when the camera view is displayed:
●When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position and the vehicle is stopped,
the MOD system detects moving objects in
the bird’s-eye view. The MOD system will
not operate if the outside mirrors are moving
in or out, in the stowed position, or if either
front door is opened.
●When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 10 km/h (6 mph) , the MOD system
detects moving objects in the front view.

●Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
●Keep the cargo load as low as possible in
the trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity
low.
●Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the
trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in
the back half. Also make sure the load is
balanced side to side.
●Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, ve-
hicle tire pressure, trailer light operation, and
trailer wheel lug nuts every time you attach a
trailer to the vehicle.
●Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing before
driving the vehicle.
●Determine the overall height of the vehicle
and trailer so the required clearance is
known.
Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding of the
vehicle’s behavior, you should practice turning,
stopping and backing up in an area which is free
from traffic. Steering stability and braking perfor-
mance will be somewhat different than under
normal driving conditions.●Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
●Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or
lock to prevent the coupler from inadver-
tently becoming unlatched.
●Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
●Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
●Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed.
●When backing up, hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand. Move your
hand in the direction in which you want the
trailer to go. Make small corrections and
back up slowly. If possible, have someone
guide you when you are backing up.
Always block the wheels on both vehicle and
trailer when parking. Parking on a slope is not
recommended; however, if you must do so:
CAUTION
If you move the shift selector to the P
(Park) position before blocking the
wheels and applying the parking brake,
transmission damage could occur.
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.2. Have someone place blocks on the downhill
side of the vehicle and trailer wheels.
3. After the wheel blocks are in place, slowly
release the brake pedal until the blocks ab-
sorb the vehicle load.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Shift the transmission into P (Park) .
6. Turn off the engine.
To drive away:
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into gear.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer are
clear from the blocks.
6. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.
