The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed).
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (driving from a hea\
ted garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash).
REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that still
requires the driver to use it in conjunction
with the interior and exterior mirrors for
maximum coverage. Objects that are close to either corner
of the bumper or under the bumper,
might not be seen on the screen due to the
limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your reaction
time to stop your vehicle. WARNINGS
Use caution when using the rear video
camera and the luggage compartment
door is ajar. If the luggage compartment door
is ajar, the camera will be out of position and
the video image may be incorrect. All
guidelines disappear when the luggage
compartment door is ajar. Use caution when turning camera
features on or off. Make sure your
vehicle is not moving. The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display
which represent your vehicle
’s path and
proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located on the luggage
compartment door.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the
transmission in reverse (R).
223
Continental (CPL) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE222904

Note:
The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
• Active guidelines: Show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful
when backing into a parking space or
aligning your vehicle with another object
behind you.
• Centerline: Helps align the center of your
vehicle with an object (for example, a
trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment door is open, no
rear view camera features will display. Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage as it usually provides in
normal operation and some objects might
not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines
may disappear when you connect the trailer
tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
reverse lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
• The rear of your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to become
misaligned.
Camera Guidelines
Note: Active guidelines are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R). Active guidelines

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed
guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the
steering wheel to point the guidelines toward
an intended path. If you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended
path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. The active guidelines do not display
when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
away. Objects are getting closer to your
vehicle as they move from the green zone
to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
vehicle. Camera System Settings
You can access the rear view camera system
settings through the display screen. See
Settings (page 469).
Enhanced Park Aids or Park Pilot
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights that appear on top of the video
image when any of the sensing systems
detect an object.
Manual Zoom
WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle may not show. Be
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: When you enable manual zoom, only
the centerline is shown.
Selectable settings for this feature are Zoom
in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the symbol in
the camera screen to change the view. The
default setting is Zoom OFF.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only active
while the transmission is in reverse (R).

Rear Camera Delay
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
The default setting for the rear camera delay
is OFF.
When shifting the transmission out of reverse
(R) and into any gear other than park (P), the
camera image remains in the display until:
•
Your vehicle speed sufficiently increases.
• You shift your vehicle into park (P).
360 DEGREE CAMERA (If Equipped) WARNINGS
The 360 degree camera system still
requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with looking out of the windows,
and checking the interior and exterior mirrors
for maximum coverage. You may not see objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper due to the limited coverage of
the camera system. WARNINGS
Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving. At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, serious personal
injury or death. Note:
Use caution using the 360 view when
any of the doors are ajar. If a door is ajar,
the camera will be out of position and the
video image may be incorrect.
The 360 degree camera system consists of
front, side and rear cameras. The system:
• Allows you to see what is directly in front
or behind your vehicle.
• Provides cross traffic view in front and
behind your vehicle. •
Allows you to see a top-down view of the
area outside your vehicle, including the
blind spots.
• Provides visibility around your vehicle to
you in parking maneuvers such as:
•Centering in a parking space.
• Obstacles near vehicle.
• Parallel parking. The front camera enable button is
located near the display screen
and turns on the front camera
when your vehicle is not in reverse (R).
Using the System
Note: The 360 degree camera system turns
off when your vehicle is in motion at low
speed, except when in reverse (R).
The front and rear cameras have multiple
screens which consist of: normal view with
360, normal view, and split view. When in
park (P), neutral (N) or drive (D), only the front
images display when you press the button.
When in reverse (R), only the rear images
display.
