Rear View Camera
*
This system provides a video image of the area
behind your vehicle. The display automatically
appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle
is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red
guides to alert you of your proximity to objects.
Front and Reverse Sensing Systems
*
This system sounds an audible warning tone
if there is an obstacle near the vehicle’s front
or rear bumpers. As the vehicle moves closer
to the obstacle, the rate of the warning tone
increases in frequency. The front sensors are
automatically activated when the gearshift is in
any position other than park (P) or neutral (N)
and the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The rear sensors detect certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R).
See the
Parking Aids
chapter in your
Owner’s Manual
for complete information
on your vehicle’s sensing systems.

your vehicle, the lamps track left to right, then back to center. To use, place
the lighting control into the autolamp position.
