tem that helps the driver by display-
ing objects behind the vehicle when
backing up.

the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle. The camera does NOT cover

cle. While the camera's display is
generally accurate, objects can be
much closer than they appear in the

ty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
