Around viewTM monitor (if equipped)
The CAMERA button is located on the center console.
When you push the CAMERA button or shift the selector lever into the “R” (Reverse) position while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the Around View Monitor operates. The monitor displays various views of the position of the vehicle.
Available views:
- Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
- Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
- Front View
The view to the front of the vehicle.
- Rear View
The view to the rear of the vehicle..
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
There are some areas where the system will not detect objects. When in the front or the rear view display, an object below the bumper or on the ground may not be detected 1 . When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of the camera detecting areas will not appear in the monitor2 .
- The Around View Monitor is a convenience but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation because it has areas where objects cannot be viewed. The four corners of the vehicle in particular, are blind spots where objects do not appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear views. Always look out the windows and check with your own eyes to be sure that it is safe to move before operating the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.
- Do not use the Around View Monitor with the outside mirror in the stored position, and make sure that the lift gate is securely closed when operating the vehicle using the Around View Monitor.
- The distance between objects viewed on the Around View Monitor differs from the actual distance.
- The cameras are installed above the front grille, the outside mirrors and above the rear license plate. Do not put anything on the cameras.
- When washing the vehicle with highpressure water, be sure not to spray it around the cameras. Otherwise, water may enter the camera unit causing water condensation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
- Do not strike the cameras. They are precision instruments. Doing so could cause a malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the camera.
