4. Have you ever faced trouble while backing up in your car? You’re not the only
one! The National Safety Council reports that nearly 25 percent of traffic
accidents are due to poor backing habits. Thankfully, there is a solution to this!
Most new Toyota near Charlotte come with an integrated backup camera – a
convenience feature that can reduce reversing hiccups. Learn more about car
rearview cameras, here!
What is a backup camera?
A backup camera is technology in most N Charlotte Toyota cars that uses a small
camera mounted on the rear of your vehicle to display on a screen, inside your
vehicle, the view behind you. This is a great way for you to check all of your
surroundings before putting your vehicle in motion.
Did you know that a law will soon be in place that will make backup cameras a
standard in all new cars? Soon, every car will be equipped with great safety
features like rearview cameras. Luckily, Toyota is innovative and driven by safety
and most of our new cars already come standard with an integrated rearview
camera. Even some base models have this feature!
How to use this feature in your N Charlotte Toyota
While technology may seem complicated sometimes, using a backup camera in a
N Charlotte Toyota is easy! If you’re not sure how, we can explain:
 It’s as simple as putting your vehicle in reverse! Once you shift your N
Charlotte Toyota into reverse, the display screen should switch from
controls to the view of your rearview camera.
 Use the guidelines for help! Most integrated backup cameras come with a
helpful feature- guidelines or projected path. These colored lines digitally
added to your screen are a great way to assist you when negotiating how
close or far away you are from an object.
 Remember to not completely rely on your car backup camera, but to also
use your mirrors! In addition to checking your camera view, also check your
rear view mirror and side view mirrors.

5. This feature may be more helpful than you’d originally think. Yes, it’s helpful for
backing out of parking spots –but it can assist with way more than that! When
driving your N Charlotte Toyota, you can use this convenience feature for backing
into a tight parking space, exiting your driveway, lining up your tow hitch with
your trailer and even parallel parking!
You can finally be the master of parallel parking with the help of a rearview
camera. Take the stress out of parking along the curb or sidewalk when you’re
able to see how far away you are from the vehicle behind you and the curb beside
you. Walk away from your parallel parked vehicle with confidence!
