Parking Aids (If Equipped)

Symptom

Possible Cause

A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example,

a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed.

The parking space length or position of parked objects

changes after your vehicle passes the space.

You are using a spare tire or a tire more significantly

worn than the other tires.

The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes.

For example, driving from a heated garage into cold

outside temperature, or after leaving a car wash.

Note: Back up as slow as possible since

higher speeds might limit your reaction time

to stop your vehicle.

The rear view camera system provides a

video image of the area behind your

vehicle.

During operation, lines appear in the

display which represent your vehicle’s path

and proximity to objects behind your

vehicle.

WARNING: The rear view camera

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: 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.

WARNING: Use caution when the

rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo

door is ajar, the camera will be out of

position and the video image could be

incorrect. All guide lines disappear when

the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to

follow this instruction could result in

personal injury.

The camera is located on the liftgate.

WARNING: Use caution when

turning camera features on or off when

the transmission is not in park (P). Make

sure your vehicle is not moving.

Using the Rear View Camera

effective at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph)

and may not detect certain angular or

moving objects.

The system uses three types of guides to

help you see what is behind your vehicle:

•

Active guidelines: Show the intended

path of your vehicle when reversing.

Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path

your vehicle is moving in while reversing

in a straight line. This can be helpful

when backing into a parking space or

aligning your vehicle with another

object behind you.

•

Centerline: Helps align the center of

your vehicle with an object (for

example, a trailer).

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)

and the luggage compartment door or

liftgate is open, no rear view camera

features will display.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees

what you are towing. This might not provide

adequate coverage as it usually provides in

normal operation and some objects might

not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines

may disappear when you connect the trailer

tow connector.

under the following conditions:

•

Nighttime or dark areas if one or both

reverse lamps are not operating.

Mud, water or debris obstructs the

camera's view. Clean the lens with a

soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive

cleaner.

•

The rear of your vehicle is hit or

damaged, causing the camera to

become misaligned.

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed

the steering wheel to point the guidelines

toward an intended path. If you change the

steering wheel position while reversing,

your vehicle might deviate from the original

intended path.

Obstacle Distance Indicator

The fixed and active guidelines fade in and

out depending on the steering wheel

position. The active guidelines do not

display when the steering wheel position

is straight.

Always use caution while reversing.

Objects in the red zone are closest to your

vehicle and objects in the green zone are

farther away. Objects are getting closer to

your vehicle as they move from the green

zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the

side view mirrors and rear view mirror to

get better coverage on both sides and rear

of the vehicle.

Manual Zoom

WARNING: When manual zoom is

on, the full area behind your vehicle may

not show. Be aware of your surroundings

when using the manual zoom feature.

The system uses red, yellow and green

highlights that appear on top of the video

image when any of the sensing systems

detect an object.

This allows you to get a closer view of an

image keeps the bumper in the image to

provide a reference. The zoom is only

active while the transmission is in reverse

(R).

When shifting the transmission out of

reverse (R) and into any gear other than

park (P) while the Delay Mode is ON, the

camera image remains in the display until:

•

Your vehicle speed sufficiently

increases.

You shift your vehicle into park (P) on

vehicles with automatic transmission.

Camera System Settings

The rear view camera system settings can

be accessed through the display screen.

See General Information (page 110).
