the surroundings and top view of your vehicle whenever the
gear selector is put into REVERSE or a different view is
selected through the "on screen soft buttons". The top view of
the vehicle will show which doors are open. The image will

(Continued)
Deactivation
Once activated, the image will continue to be displayed in

NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the Surround View Camera. Always check
carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for
the safety of your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, Surround View should only be used as a parking aid. The Surround View camera is
unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive
path.
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using Surround View to be able to stop in
time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that
the driver look frequently over his/her shoulder when
using Surround View.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissions control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler
tube cap (fuel filler cap). A poorly fitting cap could let
impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly-fitted
aftermarket cap can cause the MIL (Malfunction Indi -
cator Light) to illuminate due to fuel vapors escaping
from the system.
• A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the MIL to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is
being filled.
