REARVIEW CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED)
This system provides a visual display of the area behind the vehicle. The display
automatically appears on the navigation screen (if equipped) or in the rearview mirror
when the vehicle is in Reverse (R) and uses colors (green, yellow and red) to help judge
your proximity to objects.
Note:
Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Guide for safety information, more detail
and limitations.
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the vehicle’s rear bumper
when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5km/h). The warning
tone will increase in frequency as the object gets closer and then will sound continuously
when the object is less than 10 inches away.
Note:
Visibility aids do not replace the need to
watch where the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Guide for safety information, more
detail and limitations.
