Features of your vehicle
Rear View Monitor system will acti-
vate with the ignition switch ON and
the shift lever in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion. This system is a supplemental sys-
tem only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
inside/outside rearview mirrors and
the area behind the vehicle before
and while backing up because
there is a dead zone that can't be
seen by the camera.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.
❈If your vehicle is equipped with
Infotainment System, rearview dis-
play image will show behind the
vehicle through the Infotainment
System monitor while backing-up.
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
Car Infotainment System Quick
Reference Guide.
REAR VIEW MONITOR (RVM)
WARNING - Backing &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing up. You
must always look over both
shoulders and continuously
check all three rear view mirrors.
Due to the difficulty of ensuring
that the area behind you remains
clear, always back up slowly and
stop immediately if you even
suspect that a person, and espe-
cially a child, might be behind
you.
