Parking Aids

Note: When towing, the camera only sees what you are towing behind your vehicle. This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually provides in normal operation and you might not see some objects. In some vehicles, the guidelinesmay disappear once you engage the trailer tow connector. Note: If your vehicle is equipped with Pro Trailer Backup Assist you can set-up the trailer to work with the Rear View Camera system. See Trailer Reversing Aids (page 281). The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions: • Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse lamps are not operating. • Mud, water or debris obstructs the camera's view. 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. Camera SystemSettings You can access the rear view camera system settings in the display screen. See General Information (page 112). Camera guidelines Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R). Note: The centerline is only available if active or fixed guidelines are on.

E184050 The rear view camera is located on the tailgate. Using the Rear ViewCamera System The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehiclewhen you place the transmission in reverse (R). Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. 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 while reversing. • Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle ismoving inwhile 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: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (for example, a trailer). Note: If the image comes on while the transmission is not in reverse (R), have the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
