Rear View Monitor

Since the range shown on the rear view monitor is limited, be sure to check safety visually around the area. Never drive while viewing only the image. It must be used only as a supplementary measure to gain field of view at the back of the vehicle.
Since the rear view camera is using a wide lens, distance of the image shown on the display is different from the actual distance.
Since the rear view camera is a precision device, do not apply a strong impact to it. Doing so may cause a malfunction, fire or electric shock.
Raindrop, snow, mud, body wax, etc. on the lens may give poor image. Damage to the lens may adversely affect the image.
Do not use hard cloth, organic solvent (alcohol, benzine, and thinner), or chemical wipe to clean the lens. Doing so may cause discoloration. When cleaning the lens, always wipe it with a dry soft cloth. For severe contamination, use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent (no droplets can be present).
In a high-pressure car wash, do not expose the camera directly to water. It may cause entry of water on the lens or cause condensation, resulting in a malfunction, fire or electric shock. Do not use a car wash brush on the lens.
When it is extremely hot or cold, the image may be poor, but it should not be considered to be a malfunction.
The image may be poor or bluish at a dark place or at night, but it should not be considered to be a malfunction. In this case, image quality may be adjusted using the image quality adjusting function.
Flickering may appear on the screen under fluorescent light, but it should not be considered to be a malfunction.
When the rear view monitor is used, some of the audio and hand-free phone functions can be operated.
It may take some time to switch to the camera image or non-camera image. Image may be instantaneously disturbed before a complete image appears.
If highly brilliant point (sun reflecting on the vehicle body) is shown on the camera, a smear or ghost inherent to CCD occur, but it should not be considered to be a malfunction.
The back view monitor image is a mirror image with reverse left and right to suit the situation when the rear is viewed with the rear view mirror.
Possible route lines and side distance guide lines are subject to the number of passengers, fuel level, vehicle position, road condition, road gradient, etc. There may be a difference from the actual driving route.
If tires are replaced with a size not specified, possible route lines may not be correctly displayed.
The possible route line center position may be misaligned. In this case, perform the correction of the neutral position according to the following procedure.
- Drive 100 m (328.1 ft) or more straight ahead at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more.
