The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Active guidelines (if equipped): 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.
•
Centerline: Helps align the center of
your vehicle with an object (for
example, a trailer).
Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. 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 when you connect the trailer
tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly
under the following conditions:
•
Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
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.

Active guidelines are only shown with

To use active guidelines, turn the steering
wheel to point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended
path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. The active guidelines do not
display when the steering wheel position
is straight.
