1 About 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 conditi ons (such as weather,
lighting, and high temperat ures) 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.R

Surround View Camera*
The Surround View Camera System allows the driver to check the blind spots
through the images displayed on the audio/information screen.
Using this support system will reduce the driver's stress in the following situations.
•Backing up the vehicle into a parking space marked with parking lines.
• Checking both ways at intersections with poor visibility.
• Parallel-parking in a parking sp ace marked with parking lines.
• Checking for obstacles in front of the vehicle.
• Checking for obstacles at the rear of the vehicle.
• Checking for obstacles around the front right and left sides of the vehicle.1Surround View Camera*
Always keep the camera lens clean and
unobstructed. The rearview camera has a lens
that makes distances appear different than they
actually are. Always take care when backing up,
and look behind you for obstacles.
Navigation controls ar e disabled when in
Reverse.
Adjusting the brightness for the camera display
does not affect the br ightness of the audio/
information screen.
If you turn the guide lines off, they remain off
until you turn them back on.
The Surround View Camera System is designed
to reduce the driver's stress of operating the
vehicle. Use this system as support for visual
checks to confirm the safety in areas likely to be
blind spots.
The Surround View Camera System does not
eliminate all blind spots. Visually confirm safety
around the vehicle with yo ur own eyes and the
mirrors. Do not rely on the camera view.
