Newby Struggling with Backup Camera
Just got an HS250h and I'm having trouble getting my bearings with what I see from the backup camera.
Any suggestions? The camera seems to be at an angle and it is not centered. There are also no guidelines, which other cars with cameras have and are extremely useful.
I suppose there is no way to add the lines, right?
Any other ideas?

Intended purpose
Keep in mind that our "old school" rear view cameras are intended to simply show if there is something directly behind our vehicles that can't be seen in the mirrors or by turning and looking out the back. An example would be a kid's bike. I use mine a lot to judge my distance to fixed objects when backing into a parking spot. Other, more "new school" rear cameras, are actually intended as backup cameras with guide lines that show your proposed path of travel.
In summary, once you realize that your rear view camera not intended as a backup camera, you'll use it to verify you're not going to back over anything and then use the mirrors and head turn to guide yourself like drivers have done for 100 years.

If you look real close to the screen, and if your camera is aimed like mine, you'll see just the top of the back bumper. It give you a little idea of where your looking, and a little more depth perception.
