Rear Parking Camera
Your vehicle can be equipped with a rear parking camera that allows you to see an image on the MIA screen of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the transmission is put into R (Reverse) mode.
When “Rear View Camera Delay” mode is enabled, the rear view image shall be displayed for about 10 seconds unless the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h) after shifting out of R (Reverse) mode.
To assist the driver during maneuvers on dead-ends/roads and on intersections, the vehicle may be equipped with an optional surround view camera system. In this case, the rear parking camera
is integrated into the surround view camera system. In both configurations (rear parking camera only or surround view camera system), you can always monitor the rear view. For more details on this option, see chapter “Surround View Camera System” in this section. The image will be displayed along with a caution note to “Check Entire Surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will disappear.
The rear parking camera is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
When the transmission is shifted out of R (Reverse), the rear camera mode is exited if “Rear View Camera Delay” is not selected in the setting list.
Instead, when the transmission is set in P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) mode it is possible to activate the system by touching the “Rear View Camera” soft-key in “Controls” menu of the “Vehicle” or in the App page.
If manually activated in these ways, Park Assist view will expire after 10 seconds that the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h).
With transmission in P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) mode, the upper right corner of the screen will show the “X” key: touch it to go back to the previous screen of MIA display.
The deactivation of the rear visualization via “X” soft-key is not possible when the transmission is in R (Reverse) mode.
NOTE:
Exiting the screen touching the “X” soft-key will not active again the Park Assist view in D (Drive) mode if the vehicle does not exceed 8 mph (13 km/h).
When displayed, dynamic grid lines (if the function is set to MIA through the “Settings” menu of the “Vehicle” page) will illustrate the width of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver. The dynamic grid lines will show separate zones in different color that will help indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the approximate distances for each zone and color:
| Zone | Distance to the rear of the vehicle |
| Red | 11 – 12 in (28 – 30 cm) |
| Yellow | 12 – 39 in (30 cm – 1 m) |
| Green | 39 – 118 in (1 – 3 m) or greater |
CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage, the rear camera should only be used as a parking aid, as the rear camera is unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using
the rear camera to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the driver looks frequently over his/her shoulder when using the rear camera.
Surround View Camera System
System components
The system uses four cameras to monitor the area around the vehicle, placed on the front grid, under the side rearview mirrors and on the boot lid, between the number plate lights.
When the transmission is set in R
(Reverse) mode the top view and rear view of the surrounding scenario will be automatically displayed on MIA display. Image will be displayed with active guidelines, if activated in the setting list, as long as vehicle remains in R (Reverse) mode.
When vehicle is shifted into a different gear, if the camera delay is activated on the MIA screen, the image will remain displayed for about 10 seconds unless the vehicle speed exceeds 13 km/h (8 mph). If the transmission is shifted in P (Park) mode, the surround view screen will be immediately cancelled and the radio will return to the last-viewed screen.
Instead, when the transmission is set in P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) mode it is possible to activate the system by touching the “Surround View Camera” soft-key in “Controls” menu of the “Vehicle” or in the App page, if the vehicle speed is below 13 km/h (8 mph); otherwise the soft-key becomes greyed. If manually activated in these ways, the camera view will expire after 10 seconds the vehicle speed exceeds 13 km/h (8 mph).
Once the “Surround View Camera” screen is displayed, it is possible to choose which images to display according to 4 possible views.
Rear view and top view
Rear cross path view and top view
Front cross path view and top view
Front view and top view
In any gear shift mode, when “Surround View Camera” screen is displayed, a pop up message will appear in the upper part for 5 seconds to advise the driver to check the surrounding scenario before any manoeuvre.
With transmission in P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) mode, the upper right corner of the screen will show the “X” key: touch it to go back to the previous screen of MIA display.
The deactivation of the rear visualization via “X” soft-key is not possible when the transmission is in R (Reverse) mode. Choose the most suitable view for
the situation and the manoeuvre you are performing or going to perform,
by touching the soft-key present on the left of the display: the edges of the pressed button will highlight. The icon will highlight and the type of selected view will appear on each image.
In the top view, the vehicle is represented as it is during the manoeuvre (see example in the figure). To display also the dynamic lines of the trajectory you are setting, it is necessary to set this function by accessing the
“Settings” menu on “Vehicle” page of MIA, at “Camera” item, by using the dynamic gridlines activation menu.
For further information, see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.
| Zone | Distance to the rear of the vehicle |
| Red | 28 – 30 cm (11 – 12 in) |
| Yellow | 30 cm – 1 m (12 -39 in) |
| Green | 1 – 3 m (39 – 118 in) or greater |
NOTE:
When a camera fail occurs, the proper visualization and the top view will be blackened out.
In fault conditions, when it is not possible to change view, the soft-key on the left of the display will be greyed out.
When all the Surround View Camera system is unavailable, a blue screen appears to inform the driver of a loss of communication with the radio.
To visualize virtual obstacles in 2D and 3D, Virtual Wall function and Park Assist must be enabled on the MIA screen (see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”) ( ).
Grid lines become grey and virtual wall detection zone corresponds approximately to the rear central arc in Park Assist visualisation.
