Rear Vision Camera Error Messages

Rear Vision Camera System Unavailable: Thismessage may display when the system is notreceiving information it requires from other vehiclesystems.

If any other problem occurs or if a problempersists, see your dealer.

Global Positioning System (GPS)The Navigation System determines the position ofyour vehicle by using satellite signals, variousvehicle signals, and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellitecondition, road configuration, the condition of thevehicle and/or other circumstances can interferewith the Navigation’s ability to determine theaccurate position of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of your vehicleusing signals sent by the GPS Satellites of theUnited States Department of Defense. When yourvehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites,a symbol will appear on the map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 21.

57

This system may not be available or interferencemay occur if the following happens:

• Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings,large trucks, tunnels,

• objects located on top of the instrument panel,

• satellites will not send signals if they arebeing repaired or improved,

• after-market glass tinting has been applied tothe vehicle’s windows.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tintingto the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting willinterfere with the system’s ability to receiveGPS signals and cause the system tomalfunction. You might have to replace thewindow to correct the problem. This wouldnot be covered by your warranty.

For more information if you are experiencing aproblem, see If the System Needs Serviceon page 60 and Problems with Route Guidanceon page 59.
