system is a reverse aid supplement  
device that still requires the driver to use  
it in conjunction with the interior and  
exterior mirrors for maximum coverage.  
WARNING: Use caution when the  
liftgate is ajar. If the liftgate is ajar, the  
camera will be out of position and the  
video image may be incorrect. All

is ajar. Failure to follow this instruction  
could result in personal injury.  
WARNING: Objects that are close  
to either corner of the bumper or under  
the bumper, might not be seen on the  
screen due to the limited coverage of the  
camera system.
