Keep the cameras clean and working
Official manufacturer dataApplies to: Petrol and Super Hybrid (SHS-P)Source: Petrol handbook p196, 198 · Super Hybrid handbook p181

Before and while using the cameras

  • Unfold the door mirrors and make sure the tailgate is firmly closed.
  • Distances shown on the screen are not the same as real distances.
  • Do not put anything over the cameras.

Caution:Do not scratch the lenses when cleaning off dirt or snow.

Caution:The cameras are calibrated at the factory. Removing, refitting or changing their position or angle without authorisation can affect how the system works.

Caution:The camera image does not show true size or distance, it lags slightly behind reality and has blind spots. It does not replace your own judgement - keep watching your surroundings while it is on and while turning it on or off.

Black screen

If the system detects a fault with itself or a camera, that camera view and the bird's-eye view go black with a message or symbol. Common causes:Petrol only

  • Pressure washing - high-pressure water or steam can get into the camera, mist the lens or short-circuit it. Do not pressure-wash the camera areas.
  • Knocks - hitting or tapping a camera can move it or damage it, misaligning the image or blanking it.
  • Tampering - do not take the cameras apart. A poor connection can cause a black screen.
  • Heavy rain - water getting into the connector can short the system. Check whether water has got into the camera mounting.
  • Electrical load - when lots of electrical equipment is running, voltage changes can blank the screen. Turn off other equipment and restart the car.
  • Petrol only

Note:If a black screen persists, have the system checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.Petrol only
