How to adjust the reversing camera on a Wrangler?
2 Answers
To adjust the reversing camera on a Wrangler, you need to enter the navigation system, locate the reversing settings, and long-press to access the setup interface. Input the distance from the camera center to the ground and the distance from the calibration edge to the ground. After setting these parameters, save and exit. The Wrangler's body dimensions are 4882mm in length, 1894mm in width, and 1848mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3008mm and a minimum ground clearance of 251mm. The 2017 Wrangler is equipped with two engines: a 3.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 3.0L naturally aspirated engine, both paired with a 5AT transmission.
Adjusting the Wrangler's reversing camera is quite simple. I often drive my Wrangler off-road and frequently encounter this issue. First, start the vehicle and tap the central control screen to enter the settings menu. Under the driver assistance or safety options, select the reversing camera settings. You can slide the bars to adjust brightness and contrast to make the image clearer. If the picture appears too dark or bright, simply adjust the brightness. Increasing contrast makes outlines more distinct. The camera angle might also be off—loosen the fixing nut manually and gently adjust the viewing angle to ensure it’s aligned with the rear of the vehicle. Cleaning the lens is crucial, as off-road dirt can obstruct the view. If the image is distorted or delayed, check the wiring connections or look for a software update. If the system version is outdated, download and install the update file online. A key safety tip is not to rely solely on the camera while reversing—always check the rearview mirrors to confirm surroundings, especially on steep slopes where distance can be misjudged. I find that checking the lens during regular maintenance saves a lot of hassle.
