1. An all-terrain vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of ground-engaging members;
a frame supported by the plurality of ground-engaging members;
a powertrain assembly supported by the frame and operably coupled to the plurality of ground-engaging members;
a shiftable transmission supported by the frame and operably coupled to the powertrain assembly, the shiftable transmission comprising a plurality of gears having a plurality of configurations including a reverse configuration to cause rearward movement of the all-terrain vehicle, a forward configuration to cause forward movement of the all-terrain vehicle, and a neutral configuration;
a display supported by the frame;
a back-up camera supported by the frame; and
a controller operatively coupled to the shiftable transmission, the display, and the back-up camera, wherein the controller is configured to:
receive a signal from the shiftable transmission corresponding to the shiftable transmission being in a configuration of the plurality of configurations other than the reverse configuration;
determine the all-terrain vehicle is moving backwards; and
automatically display on the display an output from the back-up camera in response to the shiftable transmission being in one of the plurality of configurations other than the reverse configuration and the all-terrain vehicle moving backwards.
