When the System Does Not
Seem To Work Properly
The rear vision camera system
might not work properly or display a
clear image if:
•
The RVC is turned off. See
“Turning the Rear Camera System
On or Off” earlier in this section.
• It is dark.
• The sun or the beam of headlights
is shining directly into the
camera lens.
• Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with water,
and wipe it with a soft cloth.
• The back of the vehicle is in an
accident, the position and
mounting angle of the camera can
change or the camera can be
affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer/retailer.
• There are extreme temperature
changes.
The rear vision camera system
display in the rearview mirror may
turn off or not appear as expected
due to one of the following
conditions. If this occurs the left
indicator light on the mirror will flash.
• A slow flash may indicate a
loss of video signal, or no
video signal present during the
reverse cycle.
• A fast flash may indicate that the
display has been on for the
maximum allowable time during a
reverse cycle, or the display has
reached an Over Temperature
limit.
The fast flash conditions are used
to protect the video device from
high temperature conditions.
Once conditions return to normal
the device will reset and the green
indicator will stop flashing.
During any of these fault conditions,
the display will be blank and the
indicator will continue to flash
as long as the vehicle is in
R (Reverse) or until the conditions
return to normal.
Pressing and holding
z when the
left indicator light is flashing will
turn off the video display along with
the left indicator light.
