During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle
’s path
and proximity to objects behind your
vehicle. The rear view camera is on the tailgate.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you place
the transmission in reverse (R).
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 while 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 image comes on while the
transmission is not in reverse (R), have the
system inspected by your authorized dealer. Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing behind your vehicle.
This might not provide adequate coverage
as it usually provides in normal operation
and you might not see some objects. In
some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear
once you engage the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly
under the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if the 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.
Camera System Settings
You can access the rear view camera
system settings in the display screen. See
Settings (page 405).
Camera guidelines
Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines
are only available when the transmission is
in reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if
active or fixed guidelines are on.

TAILGATE LOCK
The tailgate lock can help prevent theft of
the tailgate.
Insert the ignition key into the tailgate lock.
Turn it to the left to lock the tailgate. Turn
it to the right to unlock the tailgate.
MANUAL TAILGATE
Note:
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible tailgate load of 485 lb (220 kg).
Note: Vehicles with a tow bar or rear
bumper should not have the tailgate
lowered without the support cables in place.
Note: Make sure that you keep a firm grip
on the tailgate to prevent it from dropping
down.
Lowering the Tailgate
Note: Do not lower the tailgate if a load
bed extension is fitted.
Note: Maximum permissible load for a
tailgate with a load bed extension is 110 lb
(50 kg). 1. Raise the tailgate slightly.
2. Pull the support cable rearward.
3. Release the support cable from the
tailgate.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to pull out the
support cable on the other side.
Note: Lower the tailgate for better ingress
or egress of the loads.
REMOVING THE TAILGATE WARNING:
Always properly
secure cargo to prevent shifting cargo or
cargo falling from the vehicle. Failure to
do so could result in compromised
vehicle stability and serious personal
injury to vehicle occupants or others.
You can remove the tailgate for more
loading room.
