04 Driver support
Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
186
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The Park Assist Camera uses the display in
the center console to show the area behind
the car while you are backing up.
PAC also shows guiding lines in the on-
screen image to indicate the direction that the
vehicle will take as it moves rearward, which
helps simplify parallel parking, backing into a
tight space or when attaching a trailer to the
vehicle.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated
with the vehicle's electrical system will be
included in the measurement of the availa-
ble space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
•
PAC is designed to be a supplemen-
tary aid when parking the vehicle. It is
not, however, intended to replace the
driver’s attention and judgment.
•
The camera has blind spots where it
cannot detect objects or people
behind the vehicle.
•
Pay particular attention to people or
animals that are close to the vehicle.
Function
The driver sees what is behind the vehicle
and if a person or animal should suddenly
appear from the side.
PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the
opening handle.
The camera has built-in electronics that help
reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the image
shown on the screen is as natural as possi-
ble. This may cause some objects on the
screen to “lean,” which is normal.
WARNING
Objects seen on the screen may be closer
than they appear to be.
Ambient lighting conditions
The camera automatically monitors the ambi-
ent lighting conditions behind the vehicle and
constantly adjusts sensitivity to light. This
may cause the brightness and quality of the
image on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitiv-
ity to light is increased in dark conditions or in
bad weather, which may affect image quality.
If the image on the screen seems too dark,
brightness can be increased with the thumb
wheel on the lighting panel.
NOTE
In order to function properly, the camera
lens should always be kept clean. This is
particularly important in bad weather.
Keep the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.
