∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor system could result in
serious injury or death.
∙ RearView Monitor is a convenience feature and is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows and check mirrors to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.
∙ The system is designed as an aid to the driver in showing large stationary
objects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.
∙ The distance guide line and the ve- hicle width line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle
and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.

cally shows a rear view of the vehicle when
the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse)
position. While in R (Reverse), pressing the
CAMERA button (if so equipped) will cycle
through guideline options. The radio can
still be heard while the RearView Monitor is
active.
To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just

1on the
tailgate.

ous injury or death. ∙ The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show
every object.

cause of its monitoring range limita-
tion. The system will not show small
objects below the bumper, and may

camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled on the tailgate.

malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.
