Rear View Camera: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rear view camera is installed at the center of the back door finisher.
Super-small CCD camera (color) using CCD* for the image pickup element is adopted.
With the mirror processing function, a mirror image is sent as if it is viewed by a rear view mirror.
Power for the camera is supplied from the AV control unit, and the image at the rear of the vehicle is sent to the AV control unit.

NOTE: *: Abbreviation of Charge Coupled Device. CCD can turn incident light from the lens into electrons and memorize the image like a photo.
