1About Your Rearview 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 conditions at the back of
your vehicle.
To turn the guide lines on or off, press and hold the
RETURN button for about three seconds.
If you turn the guide lines off, they remain off until
you turn them back on.
Rotate to adjust the br ightness of the rearview
camera.
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.Models without navigation system
