Possible Cause
Symptom
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be
correctly parked.
Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space.
The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained.
For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or of
different sizes.

A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example,
a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed.

For example, driving from a heated garage into the cold,
or after leaving a car wash.
REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNING: 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. WARNING: 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. WARNING: Reverse your vehicle
slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Use caution when the
rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image may be
incorrect. All guidelines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury. WARNING:
Use caution when
turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving.
Note: Some vehicles may not come
equipped with guidelines.
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.

Wi-Fi Access Point issues
Possible solution
Possible cause
Issue
Position the vehicle close to the access
point with the front of the vehicle facing the
access point direction and remove
obstacles if possible. Other Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, microwave and cordless phones
may cause interference.
Weak signal probably
due to distance from the
access point, obstruction
or high interference.
Disconnecting
after successful
connection.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated
windshield, try positioning the vehicle so
that the windshield is not facing the access
point. If you have metallic window tinting
but not on the windshield, position the
vehicle to face the access point. If all
windows are tinted, you can open the
windows in the direction of the access point
if that is feasible.
There may be an
obstruction between
SYNC 3 and the access
point.
Poor signal seen
by SYNC 3
despite being
near a access
point.
Try to remove other obstructions that may
impact signal quality such as opening the
garage door.
Please set the network to visible and try
again.
The access point was
defined as a hidden
network.
An access point
is not listed in
the list of avail-
able networks.
