Rear Vision Camera: Description and Operation






Rearview Camera System

Before troubleshooting or servicing, the technicians must be familiar with the function and operation of the rear system.

Refer to the Owner's Manual.

Function

The rear system assists the driver during back-up driving by providing the driver with an image of the traffic situation behind the vehicle via the monitor of the radio/navigation system. The system is optional equipment.

The system switches itself on by selecting the reverse gear, even when radio/navigation system is switched off.

The rear view camera system consists of the following components:

Rear View Camera (R189)

Radio/Navigation Display Control Module (J503)

Steering wheel with Steering Angle Sensor (G85)

It is not permitted to install an auxiliary license plate holder for vehicles with rear view camera system because it would impair the function of the rear view camera system. License plate lights may also be impaired.

DTC Recognition and Display

The rearview camera system has OBD.

Use the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051B) under "Guided Fault Finding".
