Possible CauseSymptom
A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example, a salt sprayer, snowplow or movingtruck bed.
The parking space length or position of parked objects changes after your vehicle passesthe space.
The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes. For example, driving from aheated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
WARNING: The rear view camerasystem is a reverse aid supplement devicethat still requires the driver to use it inconjunction with the interior and exteriormirrors for maximum coverage.
WARNING: Objects that are close toeither corner of the bumper or under thebumper, might not be seen on the screendue to the limited coverage of the camerasystem.
WARNING: Back up as slow aspossible since higher speeds might limit yourreaction time to stop your vehicle.
WARNING: Use caution when usingthe rear video camera and the trunk is ajar.If the trunk is ajar, the camera will be out ofposition and the video image may beincorrect. All guidelines (if enabled) havebeen removed when the trunk is ajar.
WARNING: Use caution when turningcamera features on or off while in reverse(R). Make sure your vehicle is not moving.
The rear view camera system provides avideo image of the area behind your vehicle.The image will display in either the rear viewmirror or the display in the center of theinstrument panel.
During operation, lines will appear in thedisplay that represent your vehicle’s pathand proximity to objects behind your vehicle.

The camera is located on the trunk near thehigh-mount brake lamp.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays whatis behind your vehicle when you place thetransmission in reverse (R).
The system uses three types of guides tohelp you see what is behind your vehicle:
•Active guidelines: Show the intendedpath of your vehicle when reversing.
•Fixed guidelines: Show the actual pathyour vehicle is moving in while reversingin a straight line. This can be helpfulwhen backing into a parking space oraligning your vehicle with another objectbehind you.
•Centerline (if applicable): Helps align thecenter of your vehicle with an object(trailer).
Note:If the transmission is in reverse (R) andthe luggage compartment is ajar, no rearview camera features will display.
Note:If the image comes on while thetransmission is not in reverse (R), have thesystem inspected by an authorized dealer.
Note:When towing, the camera only seeswhat you are towing behind your vehicle.This might not provide adequate coverageand you might not see some objects. In somevehicles, the guidelines may disappear onceyou connect the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly underthe following conditions:
•Nighttime or dark areas if the reverselamps are not operating.
•Mud, water or debris obstructs thecamera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
•The camera is misaligned due to damageto the rear of your vehicle.
To access any of the rear view camerasystem settings, make the followingselections in the touch screen when thetransmission is not in reverse (R):
•Menu > Vehicle > Camera Settings
After changing a system setting, the touchscreen shows a preview of the selectedfeatures.
Guidelines and the Centerline
Note:Active guidelines and fixed guidelinesare only available when the transmission isin reverse (R).
Note:The centerline is only available ifActive or Fixed guidelines are on.

Active guidelines are only shown with fixedguidelines. To use active guidelines, turn thesteering wheel to point the guidelines towardan intended path. If you change the steeringwheel position while reversing, your vehiclemight deviate from the original intendedpath.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in andout depending on your steering wheelposition. When your steering wheel positionis straight, the active guidelines are notvisible.
Always use caution while reversing. Objectsin the red zone are closest to your vehicleand objects in the green zone are fartheraway. Objects are getting closer to yourvehicle as they move from the green zoneto the yellow or red zones. Use the side viewmirrors and rear view mirror to get bettercoverage on both sides and rear of yourvehicle.
Enhanced Park Aids
Note:The reverse sensing system is noteffective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)and may not detect certain angular ormoving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and greenhighlights that appear on top of the videoimage when the reverse sensing systemdetects an object. The alert highlights theclosest object detected. You can disable thereverse sensing alert if you have enhancedpark aids enabled, you will still see thedisplayed highlighted areas.
Selectable settings for this feature are ONand OFF.
