Night time and dark area use

At night time or in dark areas, the camera system relies on the reverse
lamp lighting to produce an image. Therefore, it is necessary that both
reverse lamps are operating in order to get a clear image in the dark. If
either of the lamps are not operating, stop using the camera system, at
least in the dark, until the lamp(s) are replaced and functioning.

Servicing
• If the image comes on while the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), have

the system inspected by your authorized dealer.

• If the image is not clear, check if anything is covering the lens such as

dirt, mud, ice, snow, etc. If the image is still not clear after cleaning,
have your system inspected by your authorized dealer.

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The collision warning with brake support, is designed to alert the driver
of certain collision risks with a red warning light located above the
dashboard and an audible warning chime. The brake support assists the
driver in reducing the collision speed, by pre-charging the brakes.

WARNING: This system is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid. It is not intended to replace the driver’s attention,

and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. This system does NOT
activate the brakes automatically. Failure to press the brake pedal to
activate the brakes may result in a collision.

WARNING: The collision warning system with brake support
cannot help prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this system to

replace driver judgment and the need to maintain distance and speed.

Note: The collision warning with brake support will not detect, warn, or
respond to potential collisions with vehicles to the rear or sides of the
vehicle.
