Doing so may result in loss of control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep hills
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.

Rear view camera
The rear view camera is installed to the trunk lid and displays a rear
view image on the audio/navigation monitor when the engine switch
is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a keyless access with push
button start system) or the push-button ignition switch is in “ON”
mode (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system)
and the select lever (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
shift lever (vehicles with a manual transmission) is set to “R”.

How to use the rear view camera
Perform the following to display a rear view image on the rear view
camera.
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
keyless access with push button start system) or turn the
push-button ignition switch to “ON” mode (vehicles with a key-
less access with push button start system).
Shift the select lever (vehicles with an automatic transmis-
sion) or shift lever (vehicles with a manual transmission) to
“R”.
In the following situations, the screen will return to the image that
was displayed before the lever was shifted to “R”.
• Vehicles with an automatic transmission: When several seconds
have passed since the select lever was shifted to a position other
than “P” or “R” (off delay function).
• Vehicles with an automatic transmission: When the select lever is
shifted to “P”.
• Vehicles with a manual transmission: When several seconds have
passed since the shift lever was shifted to a position other than
“R” (off delay function).

■Distance from the ground on the screen
The distance markers show the distance from an object on level
ground when the vehicle is unloaded. Depending on the loading
condition and road condition, the distance shown on the screen
may be different from the actual distance.
When there is an upward slope behind the vehicle
“A”: 3 ft. (1 m)
The distance on the screen will
look farther than the actual dis-
tance.
When there is a downward slope behind the vehicle
“A”: 3 ft. (1 m)
The distance on the screen will
look closer than the actual dis-
tance.
■Distance markers
3 ft. (1 m) line
10 ft. (3 m) line
The distance markers show the
distance from points on the road.
If there is a car or other object
close to the rear of the vehicle,
the distance will not be displayed
correctly.
