Cameras turning on at stoplight

[cjmdwyer]

Wife is claiming that since the carwash yesterday the cameras are all turning on when she comes to a stop. Haven't checked it out yet but any ideas on what the heck happened?
Probably a setting that needs to be changed.
Thanks for any input.

I can't help you with this but it reminded me of something. My 2013 with the smart key always worked fine. But when I got a 2016 it had chrome handles. One winter it rained then froze. The door handles had ice n them and kept locking and unlocking as I drove down the road. If I had to guess a bit of water got onto a sensor and hopefully in a day or two it'll dry out and work again.

May have been toggled to Auto. Put it in Drive, Press the View button, look on the screen and you’ll see see an Auto option, toggle it to Off. That’s about all I can think of…

There is a setting that you can enabled that turns the camera on when you go under 10mph or so. Check that “Auto” is not enabled.

There is a setting for this on the camera display on the screen. It's called Auto Mode. Mine did it until I turned it off. See attached pics from Owners Manual

Yep, Auto is probably going to be your selection. Our camera systems are fairly diverse and you really notice the benefits of all of those features when you're in crawl mode and multi Terrain, You can even set it so when you stop at an intersection you can view the cars behind you.

Yep, that was the issue. Thing is it wasn't doing that the night before! Pulled it in and parked it, didn't touch a thing.
Wife says it did that at the first stop sign when she drove it in the morning.
Who knows...
Ghost in the machine LOL

Mine comes on as I pull into a parking spot or towards an obstacle. I wonder what mode mine is in?
