About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The audio/information screen can display your vehicle’s rear view. The display
automatically changes to the rear view when the shift lever is moved to
(R.
You can view three different camera angl es on the rearview display. Press the
selector knob or the interfac e dial to switch the angle.
If the last used viewing mode is Wide or Normal, the same mode is selected the next
time you shift into
(R. If Top View was last used, Wide mode is selected. If you shift
out of
(R in Top View mode , then shift into (R again 10 seconds later, Wide mode
is selected.
■Multi-View Rear Camera Display Area
1 About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see
the corner ends of the bum per or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique le ns also makes objects
appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing
up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do
not rely on the rearview display which does not give
you all information about c onditions at the back of
your vehicle.
If the camera lens is cove red with dirt or moisture,
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free
of debris.
You can change the Fixed Guideline and Dynamic
Guideline settings. 2 Customized Features P. 298, 316
