The Rear-Camera Display will activate
when the back-up light is ON with the
ignition switch ON and the shift lever in
the R (Reverse) position.
This system is a supplemental system
that displays a veiw from behind the vehi-
cle through the UVO audio or navigation
display while backing-up.Always keep the camera lens clean. If
lens is covered with foreign matter, the
camera may not operate normally.
REAR-CAMERA DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Rear Camera
Display
The rear view camera is not a safe-
ty device. It only serves to assist
the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle, nor is it a substitute for
proper and safe backing-up proce-
dures. The camera does NOT cover
the complete area behind the vehi-
cle. Objects can be much closer
than they appear in the display
screen and can be distorted in both
size and proportion. The Rear-
Camera Display may not display
every object behind the vehicle.
WARNING - Backing &using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing. You must
always use methods of viewing the
area behind you including looking
over both shoulders as well as con-
tinuously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficulty of
ensuring that the area behind you
remains clear, always back slowly
and stop immediately if you even
suspect that a person, and espe-
cially a child, might be behind you.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio system. This does not mean that
something is wrong with the audio equip-
ment. In such a case, try to operate
mobile devices as far from the audio
equipment as possible.
When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular
phone or a radio set is used with an inter-
nal antenna alone, it may interfere with
the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.

driving. Stop at a safe location to
use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Driver Distraction

driving. Staring at the screen for
prolonged periods of time could
lead to traffic accidents.
Using the phone while driving may lead to a lack of attention of
traffic conditions and increase
the likelihood of accidents. Use
the phone feature after parking
the vehicle.
WARNING- Audio System
Do not disassemble, assemble, or
modify the audio system. Such acts
could result in fire or electric
shock.
WARNING- Antenna
Do not touch the antenna during
thunder or lightening as such acts
may lead to lightning induced elec-
tric shock.
