Using the System

When the driver shifts the vehicle into R (Reverse), the video image automatically appears on the navigation screen, or on the inside rearview mirror. Once the driver shifts out of R (Reverse), the navigation screen will go back to the last screen that had been displayed, or the video image will automatically disappear from the mirror after a delay.

The delay after shifting out of R (Reverse) is approximately five seconds.

The delay can be canceled by performing one of the following:

- Shift into P (Park).

- Reach a vehicle speed of 8 km/h (5mph).

There may be a message on the rear vision camera screen that states “Check Surroundings for Safety.”
