CAMERA FUNCTIONS

Rear Camera

Once you put your vehicle on reverse, the rear camera will automatically show
on the screen.

As you spin the steering wheel, the parking lines will move, showing the
vehicle’s approximate direction as you keep going.

Important Notice:

The parking lines do not offer 100% precision on the track they show. Use
them only as an auxiliary resource as you park your vehicle.

Frontal camera

When you put the car on reverse, then switch the gear to N or D, the front
camera will automatically appear on the screen. The camera will remain turned
on for 30 seconds, or until the car reaches the speed of 15 km/h (9.32 mph) or if
you press the OK button on the steering wheel (see image of the MEDIA button
on the next page).

Problem Solving

1. After installing the interface, the multimedia won’t turn on.

• Review the installation and check if the cables are connected according to the
images on pages 3 and 4;

• Check if all the cables are well connected, and if there are no wires coming out
of the connectors.

2. The rear camera won’t show up when I put my car on reverse.

• Check the Setup Menu to see if the “Camera Tras (Rear Camera)” option is
correctly configured.

3. When I put my vehicle on reverse, I see the message “Incompatible
Video”.

• Check the compatibility of your rear camera. LVDS is only compatible with
NTSC video system cameras; other formats may not work.

4. I have installed a front camera, but it doesn’t work after I put my car out
of the reverse gear.

• Access the Setup Menu (page 11), go to option AV3 and set it as “CAM
FRONTAL”.

5. I can see the images of the accessories (i.e. DVD, TV), but I can’t hear
any audio.

• Make sure to access the auxiliary audio entry before accessing the
accessories video.
