The rear view monitor will activate with the ignition switch ON, engine ON and the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position. This system is a supplemental system that shows the area behind the vehicle on the audio screen while backing up. If the vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, then will display the image on the navigation screen.
WARNING - Backing & using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view monitor. You must always use methods of viewing the area behind you including looking over both shoulders as well as continuously checking all three rear view mirrors. Due to the difficulty of ensuring that the area behind you remains clear, always back up slowly and stop immediately if you suspect that a person, and especially a child, might be behind you.
