Question 6617
What is the purpose of the rearview camera that some vehicles are equipped with and that activates when reverse gear is engaged?
- To warn of the proximity of an obstacle by means of audible signals.
- To have a better view of the rear of the vehicle.
- To automatically stop the vehicle if there is a risk of collision.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: To have a better view of the rear of the vehicle.
The backup camera turns on when you shift into reverse and shows the area behind the car on the screen, which is hard to see while maneuvering. Some add guide lines, like the green, yellow, and red ones in the image. It doesn’t beep or brake the car; the beeps come from the parking sensors.
