manual for operation of the rearview
camera.
On models without navigation systemYou can turn the camera display on
and off by pressing the power button
when the shift lever is in reverse.

a display in the rearview mirror.
For the best picture, always keep the
rearview camera clean, and do not
cover the camera lens. To avoid

it, use a moist, soft cloth.
Since the rearview camera display

back up slowly and carefully, and
look behind you for obstacles.

If the engine has just been started, it
may take a short time for the system
to display the rearview.
The camera display brightness is
adjusted automatically by sensors. If

continuously at high temperature,
the image will gradually dim and
eventually turn off automatically. If
you change to another shift position,
the camera display will come on
again when you return to reverse.
The inside mirror will be hot when
you use the monitor for an extended
period of time.
If a bright light (such as sunlight) is
reflected on the mirror, the image
may be difficult to see.

surrounding area carefully.
To turn the guide line on and off,
hold the power button for more than
3 seconds when the shift is in
reverse, the on/off setting will be
