Parking Aids (If Equipped)
Note: When a trailer is connected to the
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
vehicle, the Rear Sensing System may
detect the trailer and therefore provide
warnings. It is suggested that the driver
disables the Rear Sensing System when a
trailer is connected to the vehicle to prevent
these warnings.
WARNING: The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
We recommend that you take some time
to get to know the system and its
limitations by reading this section.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system automatically turns
on each time you switch the ignition on.
WARNING:To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.
The system may provide display or sound
warnings when the detected obstacle is
12 in (30 cm) or less from the bumper.
WARNING: The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.
The system can be switched off through
the information display menu or from the
pop-up message that appears once you
shift the transmission into reverse (R). If
your vehicle is equipped with a front
sensing system, you can switch the system
off using the parking aid button. See
General Information (page 93).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display and does not allow you to switch
the system on.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the rear fascia such as large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks or certain
add-on devices installed around the front
fascia such as license plate brackets or
frames, bumper covers, bumper guards or
any other device that may block the normal
detection zone of the system, may create
false beeps.
Note: In these cases the add-on devices
must be removed in order to prevent the
false beeps.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
See Information Messages (page 96).

the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned

As your vehicle moves closer to the
(30 cm) away from the bumper.
Additionally, the system provides
obstacle distance indication through
the center stack display (if equipped).
The visual indications are present when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
As the distance to the obstacle
decreases (obstacle becomes closer),
the indicator blocks illuminate and
move towards the vehicle icon.
obstacle, the rate of the audible warning
increases. When the obstacle is less than
11.81 in (30 cm) the warning sounds
continuously. If the system detects an
object farther than 11.81 in (30 cm) from
the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds
for only three seconds. If the system
detects an approaching object the warning
sounds again.

If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks show greyed
out.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
WARNING: The rear view camera
system is a reverse aid supplement
device that still requires the driver to use
it in conjunction with the interior and
exterior mirrors for maximum coverage.
WARNING: Use caution when the
rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image may be
incorrect. All guidelines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury.
Coverage area of up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from
the rear bumper. There is decreased
coverage area at the outer corners of the
bumper.
The system detects certain objects while
the transmission is in reverse (R):
•
•
Moving toward a stationary object at
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
Not moving, but a moving object is
approaching the rear of your vehicle at
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
WARNING: Objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the
screen due to the limited coverage of the
camera system.
•
Moving at a speed of less than 3 mph
(5 km/h) and a moving object is
WARNING: Reverse your vehicle

Parking Aids (If Equipped)
The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
WARNING: Use caution when
turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving.
•
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.
The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your
vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle’s path
and proximity to objects behind your
vehicle.
•
Centerline: Helps align the center of
your vehicle with an object (for
example, a trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)
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 reverse (R), have the
system checked as soon as possible.
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:
•
•
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 your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to
become misaligned.
•
•
Vehicles without spare wheel: camera
is located on swing gate applique.
Vehicles with spare wheel: camera is
•
mounted to the spare wheel bracket.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you place
the transmission in reverse (R).
Access the rear view camera system
settings through the information display.
See General Information (page 93).
After changing a system setting, the
display screen shows a preview of the
selected features.

Camera Guidelines
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your
vehicle and objects in the green zone are
farther away. Objects are getting closer to
your vehicle as they move from the green
zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the
exterior mirrors and rear view mirror to get
better coverage on both sides and rear of
your vehicle.
Note: Dynamic guidelines are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Manual Zoom
WARNING: When manual zoom
is on, the full area behind your vehicle
may not show. Be aware of your
surroundings when using the manual
zoom feature.
Note: Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled, only
the centerline is shown.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only
active while the transmission is in reverse
(R). When the transmission is shifted out
of reverse (R), the feature automatically
turns off and must be reset when it is used
again.
