Object Detection Systems Rear Vision Camera (RVC) Vehicles with the rear vision camera system are designed to help the driver while the vehicle is backing up. The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the screen in the inside rear view mirror. Read this entire section before using the camera system. When the key is in the ON/RUN position and the driver shifts the vehicle into R (Reverse), the video image appears from inside the rear view mirror. Once the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), the image disappears. The display may have a guideline overlay that can help the driver align the vehicle when backing into a parking spot. { CAUTION The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not replace driver vision. RVC does not: • Detect objects that are outside the camera's field of view, below the bumper, or underneath the vehicle. • Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets. 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. (Continued)
