The rear view camera cannot display all objects
located very near and/or under the rear
bumper. It does not warn you ofacollision, per-
sons or objects.

view camera will not function, or will function in
al imited manner:
Rif the tailgate or rear door is open
Rif it is raining very heavily or snowing, or it is
foggy.
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light.
White lines may appear in the camera image.
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting. The camera image may flicker.
Rif the camera lens fogs up, e.g. when driving
into aheated garage in winter, causing arapid
change in temperature.
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning (Ypage 257).
Rif the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this

Do not use the rear view camera in these situa-
tions. You could otherwise injure others or dam-
age object sand the vehicle while parking and
