WARNING
This device is intended to enhance situational awareness when
used properly. If used improperly, you could become distracted
by the display, which could lead to an accident causing serious
personal injury or death. Always view the display at a glance
when the vehicle is in motion to avoid becoming distracted.
From the home screen or the map, select .
Aligning the Guidance Lines
For the best reference, the guidance lines should be aligned to
reflect the outside edges of the vehicle. You should align the
guidance lines separately for each backup camera. When you
change the camera angle, you should immediately align the
guidance lines again.

Position your vehicle with the driver's side closely aligned to a
curb, driveway, or parking stall lines.
TIP: It can be helpful to position the vehicle in the center of a
parking stall, and then pull forward into the next stall. This
allows you to use the parking stall lines at the rear of the
vehicle as reference points for alignment.
