2017 Jeep Patriot Owners Manual - Parkview rear back up camera — if equipped



Parkview rear back up camera — if equipped

Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put into REVERSE. The image will be displayed on the touchscreen along with a caution note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds, this note will disappear. The ParkView camera is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license plate. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE, the rear camera mode is exited and the last selected touchscreen appears again. If your vehicle is equipped with the Camera Delay feature and it is turned on, the rear camera image will be displayed for up to 10 seconds when the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE unless the forward vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into PARK or the vehicle’s ignition is cycled to the OFF position. Static grid lines will illustrate the width of the vehicle. The static grid lines will show separate zones that will help indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. Different colored zones indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. The following table shows the approximate dis- tances for each zone:

Zone Distance to the rear of the vehicle

Red 0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)

Yellow 1 ft - 3 ft (30 cm - 1 m) Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)

WARNING! Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstruc- tions, or blind spots before backing up. You are re- sponsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should only be used as a parking aid. The ParkView camera is unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive path. 

To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkView to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the driver look frequently over his/her shoulder when using ParkView.

NOTE: If snow, ice, mud or any foreign substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.
