Features of your vehicle
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 sys-
tem that helps the driver by display-
ing objects behind the vehicle when
backing up.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If
lens is covered with foreign matter,
the camera may not operate normally.
The rear camera display is not a
safety device. It only serves to assist
the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle. The camera does NOT cover
the complete area behind the vehi-
cle. While the camera's display is
generally accurate, objects can be
much closer than they appear in the
display screen and can be distorted
in both size and proportion.

WARNING- Backing up
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear
camera display when backing.
You must always use methods
of viewing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficul-
ty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.

Headlamp escort (if equipped)
If you turn the ignition switch to the
ACC or OFF position with the head-
lights ON, the headlights remain on
for about 5 minutes. However, if the
driver’s door is opened and closed,
the headlights are turned off after 15
seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the trans-
mitter (or smart key) twice or turning
the light switch to the OFF or Auto
position. However, if you turn the light
switch to the Auto position when it is
dark outside, the headlights will not
be turned off immediately.
Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver removes the ignition key
and opens the driver-side door (in
that order).
With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driv-
er parks on the side of the road at
night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed,
perform the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch
on the steering column.

help make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many dif-
ferent driving conditions, and it is
especially helpful after dawn and
before sunset.
The DRL system turns OFF when:
1. The front fog light or headlight (lowbeam) switch is ON.
2. The engine is OFF.

quick or slow, a bulb may be burned
out or have a poor electrical connec-
tion in the circuit.
