Thank you for the try. When using the left and right lines to center the car in a parking spot, the screen shows centered but the car is actually askew to the left a little. I'd like to make it a little more acurate, if possible.

Never wondered, worried or tried to use the left and right lines to line up the car. I guess I just naturally do it the old fashioned way. My main worry WRT the front camera is using it to avoid scraping the vette's nose. I did that with my Camaro - parked it over a parking stone - and when I backed out it ripped the front facade off requiring a $3k repair.

Yes, when the cameras are active, the center screen displays the camera in use along the bottom of the screen below the camera view. Press the displayed in use camera and the alignment lines will display or disappear.

I still am trying to find out how to activate the camera without putting into reverse.
The manual says:
The front view shows after shifting from R (Reverse) to a forward gear, or by pressing CAMERA in the center stack, and when the vehicle is moving forward slower than
8 km/h (5 mph).
I don't see a CAMERA button. I also have seen in the forums that pressing the back button for 3 seconds at low speed will do it. I see a back button but it's for the on screen menu system.
Anyone know which button to push (and where is it) to activate the front cameras as you pull into a space without going into reverse first?
Thanks,

The camera icon actually says camera on it (under it) from what I recall.
There are two screens of icons, it may be on your second screen. You can rearrange the icons like you can on a phone. Press and hold the icons until they change and you can then move them. I moved the camera to the main screen because I use it a lot.
I also tend to back into spaces more because it is much easier to jump to the camera that way, it just comes on when you go into reverse.
