172STARTING AND OPERATING
SURROUND VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Surround
View Camera system that allows you to see an
on-screen image of the surroundings and Top View
of your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put
into REVERSE or a different view is selected
through the touchscreen soft buttons. The Top
View of the vehicle will show which doors are open.
The image will be displayed on the touchscreen
display along with a caution note “Check Entire
Surroundings” across the top of the screen. After
five seconds, this note will disappear. The
Surround View Camera system is comprised of four
sequential cameras located in the front grille, rear
liftgate and side mirrors.
NOTE:The Surround View Camera system has program -
mable settings that may be selected through the
Uconnect system Ú page 189.
When the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE, the Rear
View and Top View is the default view of the
system. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with
camera delay turned on), the camera image will
continue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds
unless the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph
(13 km/h), the vehicle is shifted into PARK, or the
ignition is placed in the OFF position. There is a
touchscreen button “X” to disable the display of
the camera image.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with
camera delay turned off), the Surround View
system is exited and the last known screen
appears again.
Whenever the Rear View Camera image is
activated through the "Back Up Camera" button in
the Controls menu, and the vehicle speed is
greater than, or equal to, 8 mph (13 km/h), a
display timer for the image is initiated. The image
will continue to be displayed until the display timer
exceeds 10 seconds.NOTE:
If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph
(13 km/h), the Rear View Camera image will be
displayed continuously until deactivated via the
touchscreen button "X", the transmission is
shifted into PARK, or the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
The touchscreen button "X" to disable display of
the camera image is made available ONLY when
the vehicle is not in REVERSE.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the ParkView Rear Back Up 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, ParkView should
only be used as a parking aid. The ParkView
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 ParkView 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 ParkView.
