Silverado Back Up Camera Delay

Last week I purchased a 2014 Silverado 2500. The truck has navigation with the back up camera. The camera is slow to engage. I have to make a u-turn in reverse in my driveway to park. The camera won't turn on until I am nearly parked. After backing up and dropping it in drive I can go about half a block before the camera turns off. Is this normal?

I haven't done any scientific calculations on timing yet. DW's Jeep has a back up camera and engages almost instantly. Hopefully it is something that can be adjusted.
  • On my F250 the backup camera is instant. But it does stay on for maybe 5 seconds after I go back into drive.
  • Maybe (maybe) there is a setting you can change in the "My Link" menu?
    Our Subaru is almost instant. I have an after market unit in our Sierra and it also is virtually instant on off when in or out of reverse.
  • Our Honda Odyssey does the same when backing up. It takes about five seconds for the camera to activate but turns off instantly when put into drive.
