Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
SVM Mode Entry Conditions
The vehicle information is accessed regularly, even after entering SVM mode. When the conditions are met, conversion from front mode to rear mode is available, and vice versa.
When the mode is converted, the view displayed on the screen can be the initial view or the previous view depending on the conditions.
If the mode for conversion is the initial entry, the default view is selected based on the front or rear. If a continuous front-rear conversion mode
occurs as forward and backward movement are repeated for parking, the previous view is recalled and displayed.
- Initial Entry: When the rear and front mode view in SVM mode is displayed on the screen for the first time
- Re-entry: When switching from SVM mode to another mode, without turning off SVM, and returning to the previous mode (e.g. Rear → Front → Rear: Re-enter rear mode/Front → Rear → Front: Re-enter front mode)
| Switch mode | Vehicle speed | Gear | SVM Switch | Display view |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rear → Front | below 20 kph | R Range or P Range excluded | ON | Initial Entry: Front view set in the initial view mode option |
| Re-entry: The last view mode displayed in the previous front mode | ||||
| Front → Rear | Irrelevant | Reverse Gear | Irrelevant | Initial Entry: Rear view set in the initial view mode option |
| Re-entry: The last view mode displayed in the previous rear mode |
