Some model year 2020 and newer Polaris Slingshot vehicles are equipped with a 7" Display powered by RIDE COMMAND. The display has seven buttons, which provide access to seven screens. This display offers Bluetooth® and USB audio, vehicle information and turn-by-turn navigation.

Back-Up Camera (if equipped)
The back-up camera is not intended to replace standard driving practices of checking your surroundings before operating in reverse. Always check for pedestrians, vehicles and other obstacles before operating in reverse.
The camera and display screen automatically activate when the transmission is shifted to reverse gear. Do not operate the vehicle until the back-up camera image is clearly shown on the display screen.
Update the software on your 2020+ 7" Display powered by RIDE COMMAND to the April 2023 or newer update to view the reverse camera when in drive. If the vehicle is travelling above 8 mph, there will be a 10 second countdown until the back-up camera shuts off. If the vehicle is travelling below 8 mph, the camera will stay on continuously.
To activate the rear camera when in drive:
1. Press the Settings hard button once or tap the Slingshot logo at the top of the screen to drop down the Badge panel.
2. Tap the Rear Camera symbol.
