Rear Vision Camera Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear vision camera system. Read this entire section before using the camera system. The rear vision camera system is designed to help the driver when backing up by displaying a view, on the navigation screen, of the area behind the vehicle when the driver shifts the vehicle into REVERSE (R). Once the driver shifts out of REVERSE (R), the navigation screen will go back to the last screen that had been displayed, after a delay.
There is a message on the rear vision camera screen that states “Check Surroundings for Safety”. {CAUTION: 4. Select the Video screen button. When the video button is highlighted, RVC system is on.

Rear Vision Camera Location CAUTION: (Continued) Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear vision camera screen, or use the screen during longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances using the screen will differ from actual distances. So if you do not use proper care before backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage, injury, or death.
The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance. The area displayed by the camera is limited. The camera does not display objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road conditions. The following illustration shows the field of view that the camera provides.

See “Turning the Rear Vision Camera System On or Off” earlier in this section. • In the dark. • When the sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly into the camera lens. • If ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water, and wipe it with a soft cloth.
When your vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol will appear on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 21. This system may not be available or interferences may occur if any of the following are true: • Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large trucks, or a tunnel. • Objects are located on the rear shelf. • Satellites are being repaired or improved. • After-market glass tinting has been applied to the vehicle’s rear windshield.
• • • • • • • • • The GPS signal is not received. A roof carrier is installed on your vehicle. The vehicle is being driven with tire chains. The tires are replaced. The tire pressure for your tires is incorrect. The tires are worn. The first time the map DVD is inserted. The battery is disconnected for several days. The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where driving is at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.
If the System Needs Service Database Coverage Explanations If your system needs service and you have followed the steps listed here and still are experiencing problems, see your dealer/retailer for assistance. Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map detail available for any given area. Some areas will feature greater levels of detail than others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the system.
