2020 RAM 1500 Owners Manual - PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA



PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA

The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to see an image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put into REVERSE or whenever it is manually activated. When the gear selector is put into REVERSE, the image will be displayed in the Uconnect screen along with a caution note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will disappear.

Manual Activation Of The Rear View Camera:

    Press the "Controls" button located on the bottom of the Uconnect display.
    Press the "Backup Camera" button to turn the Rear View Camera system on.

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with Camera delay turned off), the rear Camera mode is exited and the previous screen appears again.

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with Camera delay turned on), the rear Camera image will be displayed for up to 10 seconds after shifting to another gear, unless the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is

shifted into PARK, the ignition is placed in the OFF position, or the touchscreen button “X” to disable display of the Rear View Camera image is pressed.

Whenever the Rear View Camera image is activated through the "Backup Camera" button in the "Controls" menu, and the vehicle speed is greater than, or equal to, 8 mph (13 km/h), a display timer for the image is initiated. The image will continue to be displayed until the display timer exceeds 10 seconds.

NOTE:

    If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the Rear View Camera image will be displayed continuously until deactivated via the touchscreen button "X", the trans- mission is shifted into PARK, or the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
    The touchscreen button "X" to disable display of the camera image is made available ONLY when the vehicle is not in REVERSE.

When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on the image to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its projected backup path based on the steering wheel position. The active guide lines will show separate zones that will help indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.

NOTE:

For further information about how to access and change the programmable features of the ParkView Rear Backup Camera, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.

A dashed center line overlay indicates the center of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver. The following table shows the approximate distances for each zone:

Zones

Red

0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)

Yellow

1 ft - 6.5 ft (30 cm - 2m)

Green

The ParkView Camera is located in the center of the tailgate handle.

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.

Zoom View

When the Rear View Camera image is being displayed, and the vehicle speed is below 8 mph (13 km/h) while in any gear selector position, Zoom View is available. By pressing the “magnifying glass” icon in the upper left of the display screen, the image will zoom in to four times the standard view. Pressing the icon a second time will return the view to the standard Backup Camera display.

When Zoom View is selected while the vehicle is in REVERSE, then shifted to DRIVE, the camera delay view will display the standard Backup Camera view. If the vehicle is then returned to REVERSE gear from DRIVE, the Zoom View selection will automatically resume.

Shifting to NEUTRAL from any gear will maintain the selected view (Zoom or Standard) as long as the vehicle is below 8 mph (13 km/h).

If the vehicle is in PARK, Zoom View is available until the gear selector is placed in DRIVE or REVERSE and speeds are at or above 8 mph (13 km/h).

NOTE:

    If the vehicle in is DRIVE, NEUTRAL, or REVERSE, and speed is greater than or equal to 8 mph (13 km/h), Zoom View is unavailable and the icon will appear grey.
    While in Zoom View, the guidelines will not be visible.
