Rear view monitorThe rear view monitor will activate
with the ignition switch on and the
shift lever in the R (Reverse) position.
Please note that during initial start
up, the rear view monitor may not
display instantly due to the audio
system booting up.
Approximately two to four seconds
may be required before displaying
during initial reverse selection. This
occurs when starting and immediate-
ly shifting to reverse.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the UVO audio or navigation
display backing-up.
It is the responsibility of the driver to
always check the inside/outside
rearview mirrors and the area behind
the vehicle before and while backing
up.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If
lens is covered with foreign matter,
the camera may not operate normally.
The rear view monitor is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe backing-up
procedures. Always drive safely and
use caution when backing up.The rear view monitor may not dis-
play every object behind the vehicle.
REAR VIEW MONITOR
WARNING - Backing Up &
Using Camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
monitor when backing up. Prior
to entering your vehicle always
do a visual check of the area
behind your vehicle, and before
backing up be aware of your sur-
roundings and supplement the
rear view monitor by looking
over your shoulders and check-
ing your rear view mirrors.
Due to the difficulty of ensuring
that the area behind you remains
clear, always back up slowly and
stop immediately if you even
suspect that a person, and espe-
cially a child, might be behind
you.
