Rear View Camera
This system provides a
video image of the area
behind the vehicle. The
display automatically
appears when the vehicle
is in reverse (R) and uses
green, yellow and red
guides to alert you of your
proximity to objects.
Note: If mud, water or debris
obstructs the camera’s
view, clean the lens with a
soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.
SecuriCode™ Keyless
Entry Keypad*
Lock or unlock the doors
and arm or disarm the
