Description And Operation: Description
The Rear View Camera (RVC) is an available option for this vehicle in the Parkview Rear Back-Up Camera (sales code XAC). This option is not the same as the 360 Surround View Camera System (sales code XAK) used in the Central Vision Processing Module (CVPM). For additional information regarding the description and operation of the 360 Surround View Camera System. Refer to MODULE, CENTRAL VISION PROCESSING (CVPM), DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION . The RVC is intended to be an auxiliary viewing aid and is not promoted as an obstacle detection or safety device. It does not remove vehicle operator responsibility to recognize and obey official traffic laws or regulations or to take sensible precautions and care to avoid pedestrians, other vehicle traffic or both fixed and moving obstacles through the habitual use of safe and defensive driving techniques.
The RVC is a camera on chip device utilizing Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. CMOS technology supports the analog image sensor of the RVC. The RVC is integral to the exterior light bar and applique on the outside of the liftgate. The camera lens is visible on the surface of the applique, while the body of the camera and the camera connections are concealed on the back of the applique within the liftgate. A jumper wire harness routes into the interior of the vehicle where it connects the RVC to the vehicle electrical system.
The RVC function is to provide a wide angle video image of the area behind the vehicle, only while the transmission gear selector is in the Reverse (R ) position, or the camera delay is enabled and the gear selector goes from R to Neutral (N ) or Drive (D ). This video image then displays to the vehicle operator within the display screen of the audio system receiver unit near the center of the instrument panel. The image includes an active guideline overlay to aid operator perception of distance. The active guidelines change direction with the steering wheel position to indicate the path of the vehicle to aid in parking maneuvers.
Hardwired circuitry connects the RVC to the electrical system of the vehicle. These hardwired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which routes throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other and to the vehicle electrical system through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE . and. Refer to REMOVAL . Refer to INSTALLATION .
The RVC cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the RVC is damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.
