Parking Aids 187 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 two types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle: 1. Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path the vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line, which can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning the vehicle with another object behind the vehicle. 2. Centerline: Helps align the center of the vehicle with an object (i.e. a trailer). Note: If the transmission is in R (Reverse) and the liftgate 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. Note: When towing, the camera only sees what is being towed behind the 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: • 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. Adjusting the Rear View Camera Settings 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): 1. Menu 2. Vehicle 3. Rear View Camera After changing a system setting, the touch screen shows a preview of the feature(s) selected. 2013 MKX (mkx) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
