SINGLE VISION CAMERA MONITOR SYSTEM

The rear-view monitoring system (Figure 15-1) is provided to aid the driver in backing and parking the

motorhome.

A camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle feeds a televised 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 monitor

will display the picture from the

rear-mounted camera 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.

motorhome.

This system is powered by the 12-volt DC system of

the motorhome and operates like any conventional

car-stereo system. The coach is also SIRIUS XM

compatible with a subscription.
