How to Adjust the Reversed Rearview Camera Image?
3 Answers
Method to adjust a reversed rearview camera image: First, locate the rearview camera settings in the system menu, then access it and find the image mirroring function. Turn this function off, and the rearview camera image direction will return to normal. Below are the functions of a rearview camera: 1. The car rearview camera system uses a wide-angle infrared camera installed at the rear of the vehicle, displaying clear images of rear obstacles on the in-car screen. 2. Even at night, infrared technology ensures clear visibility. The vehicle display uses TFT true color with anti-magnetic treatment to eliminate signal interference and flickering. It also features automatic horizontal switching and automatic on/off functions. The display clearly shows rear information captured by the rear camera. 3. While reversing, drivers can view the rear situation on the display, preventing accidents caused by blind spots and ensuring safer reversing.
I've encountered the issue of the reversing camera image being flipped several times, and the main cause is usually the mirror function in the camera settings being accidentally turned on. If you think back carefully to whether you've recently operated the infotainment system, such as updating software or manually changing settings, you might have triggered it by mistake. The solution is to first enter the settings menu on the central control screen, find the camera options, and see if there's a 'Mirror Flip' or 'Horizontal Flip' switch—just turn it off. If you can't find it in the menu, try restarting the entire vehicle information system by turning off the engine and waiting a few minutes before turning it back on. Sometimes, temporary glitches will disappear. A loosely installed camera or loose wiring can also cause this problem, so check if the camera is mounted upside down or not securely fixed. If you really can't figure it out, don't force it—head to the 4S shop for repairs right away. Otherwise, driving in reverse with a flipped image can easily lead to collisions, especially in garages or tight spaces. The reversing camera is designed for safety, and when working properly, it saves a lot of hassle.
I was also annoyed when I encountered the reverse camera displaying upside down, but found the simplest solution is to tweak the head unit settings. Go to the 'Reverse Assist' or similar section in the central console, navigate to image settings, and usually there's a 'Flip' option - try switching it. If that doesn't work, completely reboot the head unit system by turning off the car key for half a minute before restarting; this often resolves it. Also physically inspect the camera position to confirm it's not installed upside down or with loose connections - gently wiggle the connector to check stability. This issue commonly occurs after modifications or with new cars. If you can't fix it, don't force it - a repair shop can handle it in about ten minutes at minimal cost. Driving with misaligned reverse camera actually increases accident risks. During routine vehicle checks, never overlook such details as they significantly impact daily usability.
