Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
This vehicle may have a Rear Vision Camera system.
Read this entire section before using it.
{ CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not
replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the camera’s
field of view, below the bumper, or
underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear
vision camera screen, or use the screen during
longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where
there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances
using the screen will differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care before backing up,
you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist,
or pet, resulting in vehicle damage, injury, or death.
Even though the vehicle has the RVC system,
always check carefully before backing up by
checking behind and around the vehicle.
Vehicles Without Navigation System
The rear vision camera system is designed to help
the driver when backing up by displaying a view of
the area behind the vehicle. When the key is in
the ON/RUN position and the driver shifts the vehicle
into R (Reverse), the video image automatically appears
on the inside rear view mirror. Once the driver shifts
out of R (Reverse), the video image automatically
disappears from the inside rear view mirror.
