Backeye Camera Operations
If a separately sold backeye camera is installed, you can play the rearward status on the
display when shifting to the back gear. With the ECLIPSE Rear View Camera connected, you
can select the viewpoint of a camera view.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
ATTENTION
●
Do not place too much confidence in the backeye camera.
●
Use the backeye camera as an additional tool to check for obstacles.
●
Raindrops on the camera unit may result in a poor video image being displayed.
●
Do not reverse your vehicle while only watching the monitor screen. Be sure to look through the
rearview and side mirrors together and securely check that conditions are safe around and to the
rear of your vehicle.
●
Do not use this machine in the following conditions.
• While driving on frozen, slippery or snow-covered roads
• Uneven surfaces such as slopes
• When the rear door is not closed completely.
• When tire chains or temporary tires are being used.
●
When the display is cold, it may be difficult to recognize the contents of the video due to the
screening of a darker image or an image lag. Be sure to visually check that conditions are safe
around your vehicle while driving.
●
The person or obstacle displayed on the screen is different from the actual position or difference
due to the characteristics of the camera lens.
●
Do not subject the camera unit to a strong impact, for example, hitting the camera unit or
impacting the camera unit against a solid object. Doing so may displace the camera position or
installation angle, resulting in the backeye camera malfunctioning.
●
The camera unit has the waterproof structure. Do not remove, disassemble, or remodel the
camera unit. Doing so may result in the backeye camera malfunctioning.
●
If you rub or polish the camera cover strongly with an abrasive or brush with hard bristles, it may
result in the cover becoming damaged, which may affect the video.
●
The camera cover is made of resin. Do not allow any organic solvents, body wax, oil film remover,
or glass coating solvent to come in contact with the camera cover. If attached, immediately wipe
off it.
●
If the temperature changes rapidly, for example, by the spilling of hot water on the camera unit
when it is cold, the backeye camera may malfunction.
The backeye camera plays a mirror-reversed video image in the same way as a rear or side
mirror reflects a scene. Be careful that the view angles vary depending on the vehicle model.
When using a high-pressure car-wash machine, take care not to directly turn the nozzles on or
around the camera. Doing so may result in the camera falling off.
