when the back-up light is ON with the
POWER button 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.

camera does NOT cover the com-
plete area behind the vehicle. While
the camera's display is generally
accurate, objects can be much clos-
er than they appear in the display

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.
