Principles of Operation

NOTE: The rear cargo door must be closed for correct operation of the video camera system.

The rear video camera system is active with the ignition in run and the transaxle selector in the REVERSE (R) position. The interior rear view mirror receives the reverse signal from the reverse lamp relay. The signal from the rear video camera is sent to the interior rear view mirror display on a pair of shielded video circuits, which displays the video image of the area behind the vehicle.

NOTE: The color coded lines cannot indicate accurate or consistent distances between objects located behind the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle. This normal condition is due to variances in vehicle ride height, including, but not limited to, vehicle loading.

NOTE: The color coded lines and center line, if available, can appear to be off center or misaligned from the target. This is due to the the video camera being installed off center of the rear of the vehicle. The lines are designed to guide the driver to the correct target even if they appear not centered.

A dashed line on the displayed image represents the center of the vehicle and three color coded lines (red, yellow, green) identify different zones between the rear of the vehicle and objects. The system remains active for approximately 3 seconds after the transmission selector is moved from the REVERSE (R) position. The rear video camera system cannot be disabled during these conditions.
