Product Description
There is a blind spot that exists at the back of a vehicle while the vehicle is in
reverse. Equipped with a camera, this electronic rearview mirror provides the
driver with a clear and wide image of the area behind the vehicle whenever the
vehicle is shifted into reverse.

in the direction of vehicle motion. Use the mirror/monitor as an aid in safety
