Uconnect system. 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 three sequential
cameras located in the front grille and side
mirrors, in addition to a fourth Rear Back Up
Camera.
