TRIPLE VISION CAMERA MONITOR SYSTEM
The rear-view monitoring system (Figure 15-1) is pro-
vided to aid the driver in backing and parking the mo-
torhome.
A camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle feeds a tele-
vised view of the rear of the motorhome to the monitor
located in the front near the driver. If the mode switch is
in the “manual” mode, the monitor will be “on” when the
ignition switch is turned “on.”
If the mode switch is in the “automatic” mode, the mon-
itor will display the picture from the rear-mounted cam-
era only when the transmission is in “reverse” gear. To use
this system effectively, please consult the owner’s manual
for this system. This manual is in the Owner’s Information Package.

Rear-view camera monitor system
Basic Rear View Camera Operation:
1. Depress the POWER switch. The picture appears on the monitor. POWER indicator lights up
green. To turn off the picture, press it again to release. The monitor moves to standby condition.
POWER indicator lights up red.
2. Adjust the VOLUME control.
3. Adjust the picture contrast and brightness. The DAY/NIGHT selector switch should normally be
kept in the DAY (released) position. When you view the picture at night or in a tunnel, etc., de
press the switch to make the picture less bright (therefore in the NIGHT position). Thus, the pic
ture will be easy to view even in a dark place.
When you set the gear level to the “R” position with the POWER switch released: The monitor is turned
on and the picture from the camera connected to the CAMERA “A” connector appears irrespective of
the INPUT knob setting.
SIDE-MOUNT CAMERA
As an enhanced aid to driving, the Phaeton features side-mounted cameras on both sides of the moto-
rhome.
These side-mounted cameras are activated whenever the motor home in transit begins to make a turn.
When the “left” turn indicator is used, the left-side camera is activated and that camera displays on the
back-up monitor a rearward-oriented view of the driver’s side showing that side of the motorhome and
a limited panorama of what is alongside and immediately behind the motorhome as it begins to turn
into that direction.
In this manner, the typical “blind spot” of most motorhomes is drastically reduced or eliminated so that
the driver can make those turns with great confidence. Similarly, the “right” turn indicator operates in
