Acura MDX MDX 2012-2017 Multi-View Rear Camera Car Owner Manuals

Multi-View Rear Camera*

When you change the gear to Reverse (R), a real-time image of the area behind your vehicle is shown in the display, along with helpful parking guidelines.

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects appear closer or farther than they actually are.

Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display, which does not give you all information about conditions at the rear of your vehicle.

Cross Traffic Monitor*

Alerts you if a detected vehicle is approaching from a rear corner when your vehicle is in Reverse (R) at speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) or lower, which can be helpful when backing out of parking spaces.

The system does not provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from your vehicle, and it may not detect pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.

Turning the System On or Off

1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Camera Settings.
3. Select Cross Traffic Monitor.
4. Select On or Off.

This system cannot detect all approaching vehicles and may not detect an approaching vehicle at all.

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to back up the vehicle before doing so may result in a collision.

Do not solely rely on the system when reversing; always also use your mirrors, and look behind and to the sides of your vehicle before reversing.

Arrow icons appear on the side of an approaching vehicle, and an audible beep sounds.

*if equipped

Surround View Camera*

Four cameras assist in helping you view blind spots around the vehicle.

*if equipped

The surround view camera does not eliminate all blind spots. Visually confirm safety around the vehicle with your own eyes and the mirrors. Do not rely on the camera view.
