Default Front view camera?

Yes I did try the search button, no real results. Is it possible that when you drive forward, can you put the front camera on and watch how close you get to things such as a curb on the screen? I would think that's the whole point of having a front camera right?

I have mine turned on auto so every time I drop below I think 9mph the front camera comes on automatically. I have terrible depth perception so this is a great feature for me. Download the navigation manual for your model with all the info on the panoramic monitor.

I love this feature, my only gripe is that (for me at least) it's useful in 50% of situations, and other 50% you're annoyed it takes over your GPS/Carplay lol.. But I've just gotten used to mashing the back button if I need the GPS.

Thats awesome to hear, I didn't know you can have it automatically come on like that! Thank you for that.

Yea I can see that getting annoying lol but I'd rather know how close I am especially with the front end.
