DOES THE CAMERA AUTOMATICALLY COME ON WHEN PARKING?

[Carrielyn4]

When I am parallel parking, I have to look down to press the camera button to have it come on. Isn’t the camera supposed to come on automatically when slowing down to park? To avoid the curb?

If you press the camera button before you slow down, it will come on when you slow to a certain speed. After that, you have to press the button again to re-trigger it next time.

Oh, so press the button when driving and the next time you go to parallel park, it will come on?

The first time that you go below 12 MPH it will come on. If this is just slowing down for a turn or stop sign or something, then it will go back off as you speed back up, and you would have to press the button again.

It only comes on automatically if the vehicle detects that you're too close to something. In mine, the audio system automatically turns down too when this happens.

Do like Joegr said, push the button when your pulling into the spot. the car has no idea if your parking or just going slow. It took me a while to teach myself to do this automatically, and still sometimes I forget, But I am old. You might teach your brain quicker.

Thank you everyone. Appreciate it.
