Rear Vision Camera Error Messages

Rear Vision Camera System Unavailable: Thismessage may display when the system is not receivinginformation it requires from other vehicle systems.

If any other problem occurs or if a problem persists,see your dealer/retailer.

Global Positioning System (GPS)The navigation system determines the position of yourvehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals,and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellitecondition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicleand/or other circumstances can interfere with thenavigation system’s ability to determine the accurateposition of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of your vehicleusing signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the UnitedStates Department of Defense. When your vehicle is notreceiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appearson the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 2-8.

This system may not be available or interferences mayoccur if any of the following are true:

• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, largetrucks, or a tunnel.

• Objects are located on the rear shelf of the vehicle.

• Satellites are being repaired or improved.

• After-market glass tinting has been applied to thevehicle’s rear windshield.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting tothe vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interferewith the system’s ability to receive GPS signals andcause the system to malfunction. You might haveto replace the window to correct the problem.This would not be covered by your warranty.

For more information if the GPS is not functioningproperly, see If the System Needs Service on page 2-44and Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-44.
