How to Adjust a Reversed Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
Rearview camera adjustment method: First, turn off the engine, locate the rearview camera settings button in the system, find the mirror adjustment or reverse mirror function, and click to disable the setting. Here is an introduction to the car rearview camera: 1. The rearview camera is also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or onboard monitoring system. This system is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. 2. When selecting a rearview camera, pay attention to whether it is compatible with your vehicle model. Consider factors such as camera model, power voltage, screen size, waterproofing, shock resistance, and anti-interference capabilities.
Last time my reversing camera suddenly showed an inverted image, which really freaked me out. At first I thought it was a software glitch, but restarting the infotainment system didn't fix it. Then I realized the camera must have been installed upside down. I crawled under to check the camera position on the rear bumper, and sure enough it was reversed – it's supposed to face directly backward from the rear of the vehicle, and incorrect angles will display the image inverted. The adjustment method is simple: gently rotate the camera 90 or 180 degrees and secure it properly. There's also an option in the system settings: go to the menu for 'Parking Assist' or 'Image Settings' and switch to the correct mirror mode. Some vehicles require ignition key activation for adjustments. Loose camera wiring can also cause issues, so make sure all connectors are firmly plugged in. I recommend preventive measures – test the image orientation during installation before final positioning. Safety first when driving – a reversed image affects reversing visibility, and any scratches would be a huge hassle. Remember to regularly maintain and check the lens and cable condition.
