Rear Vision Camera System Operation
The rear vision camera system consists of a video camera located at the rear of the vehicle and the Radio.
When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a signal is sent to the Radio indicating that camera operation is requested. The rearview camera sends video information to the radio through a coax cable. The coax cable also provides power from the Radio to the rearview camera.
The following conditions may cause a degraded rear vision camera image:
- Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera
- Dark conditions
- Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
- Damage to the rear of the vehicle
- Extreme high temperatures or extreme temperature changes
If a malfunction is detected in the system, Service Rear Vision Camera may be displayed on the Info Display Module as an indicator to the customer that a problem exists that requires service.
