Parking Aids Note: When towing, the camera only sees what is being towed behind your vehicle. This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually provides in normal operation and some objects might not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear once the trailer tow connector is engaged. Note: The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions: • E142435 The camera is located on the trunk. • Using the Rear View Camera System The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in R (Reverse). The system uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle: • Active guidelines: Show the intended path of your vehicle when reversing. • Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you. • Centerline (If applicable): Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (i.e. a trailer). Note: If the transmission is in R (Reverse) and the luggage compartment is ajar, no rear view camera features are displayed. Note: If the image comes on while the transmission is not in R (Reverse), have the system inspected by your authorized dealer. • Nighttime or dark areas if one or both reverse lamps are not operating. The camera's view is obstructed by mud, water or debris. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. The rear of the vehicle is hit or damaged, causing the camera to become misaligned. To access any of the rear view camera system settings, make the following selections in the touch screen when the transmission is not in R (Reverse): • Menu > Vehicle > Rear View Camera After changing a system setting, the touch screen shows a preview of the selected features. Guidelines and the Centerline Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines are only available when the transmission is in R (Reverse). Note: The centerline is only available if Active or Fixed guidelines are on. 173
