in the “R” position with the ignition key in the “ON” position,

Never rely solely on the rear-view camera to clear
the area behind your vehicle. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for persons, ani-
mals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so
can result in vehicle damage, serious injury or
death.
The rear-view camera is an aid system for backing
up, but it is not a substitute for your visual confir-
mation.
The view on the rear-view camera display is limited,
and objects outside the view, such as under the
bumper or around either corner of the bumper end,
cannot be seen on the display.
