CAMERA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the camera features. See CAMERA FEATURES SAFETY.
The camera system is not active when a fault occurs in the camera system.

- Any of the cameras become blocked by stickers, mud, snow, debris, etc.
- In adverse weather conditions. For example, heavy fog, rain, or snow.
- The system is operating in low ambient light levels. For example, from dark to bright ambient light conditions.
The following may be a reason why the camera system views are no longer displayed on the touchscreen:
- All automatic camera views deactivate when the vehicle speed stays above 18 km/h (12 mph) for 5 seconds.
- Manually activated camera views stay activated until the user exits the camera view, a warning message will be displayed to the user when the camera view is displayed above 40 km/h (24mph).

The touchscreen displays warning messages to inform the driver of any performance or system issues.
If all of the cameras are clean and the fault is not rectified after an ignition cycle, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
