SURROUND VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with the Surround View Camera System that allows you to see an on-screen image of the surroundings and top view of your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put into REVERSE or manually acti- vated via the Uconnect system. The top view of the vehicle will show which doors are open. The image will be displayed on the touchscreen display along with a caution note “Check Entire Surroundings” across the top of the screen.

After five seconds, this note will disappear. The Surround View Camera System is comprised of four sequential cameras located in the front grille, rear tailgate and side mirrors.

There is a touchscreen button “X” to disable the display of the camera image.
