Mitsubishi Outlander: How to use the rear-view camera

When you place the gearshift lever or the selector lever in the “R” position with the ignition switch in the “ON” position, the view behind the vehicle will automatically appear on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System (MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. When you move the gearshift lever or the selector lever to any other position, the screen will return to its original indication.

Caution

► The rear-view camera has a special lens that can make objects shown on the screen appear to be closer or further away than they actually are.

Note

► Because the rear-view camera has a special lens, the lines on the ground between parking spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
► In the following situations, the screen indication may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the light from a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into the lens
► If the camera is hot and is then cooled by rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
► It is not possible to fully see obstacles when the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contaminated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil, wipe off the contamination, taking care not to scratch the lens.
► Please observe the following cautions. Ignoring them could lead to a camera malfunction.
• Do not subject the camera to physical shock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
• Do not splash the camera with boiling water.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
