rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid dam-
aging the vehicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper and may not detect ob-
jects close to the bumper or on the ground. WARNING

ways turn and look out the windows, and
check mirrors to be sure that it is safe to move

in showing large stationary objects directly
behind the vehicle, to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.
• The system cannot completely eliminate blind
spots and may not show every object.
• Underneath the bumper and the corner areas
of the bumper cannot be viewed on the re-
versing camera because of its monitoring
range limitation. The system will not show
small objects below the bumper, and may not
show objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
• Objects viewed in the reversing camera differ
from actual distance because
awide-angle
lens is used.
