The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot 
see the corner ends of  the bumper or what is 
underneath the bumper. Its unique lens also 
makes objects appear closer  or farther than they 
actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before 
backing up. Certain conditi ons (such as weather, 
lighting, and high temperat ures) may also restrict 
the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display 
which does not give you  all information about 
conditions at the back of your vehicle.
If the camera lens is  covered with dirt or 
moisture, use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens 
clean and free of debris.

To reduce potential driver distraction, ce rtain onscreen functions and features are 
limited or inoperable while the vehicle is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to 
proceed.
The navigation system pronunciation of street names 
in the guidance command or destination address 
sounds strange.
The basic guidance phrases use a studio- recorded voice, but street names are 
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be 
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
