Rear Assist

Introduction

Operation
Parking
Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with the Rear Assist rearview camera.
There is a camera in the luggage compartment lid to assist the driver while backing up or
maneuvering. The camera image is shown together with the orientation lines projected by the system
on the screen of the factory-installed radio or navigation system.
Rear Assist may take a few seconds to bring up the camera image.

WARNING
Rear Assist is not able to give you a clear and undistorted view of all areas behind the
vehicle.
The camera has blind spots in which it cannot detect people and objects.
Always be careful and look around you when parking. The camera cannot show people,
animals, and objects in certain situations. Watch out for small children and animals in
particular.
Due to the screen resolution or in low-light conditions, the camera may not pick up thin
posts, chain-link fences and similar fences, and other objects, or it may not show them
clearly.
The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and causes objects on the screen
to appear altered and imprecise.
Always keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice; do not cover the lens.
