The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of
the rear of the vehicle while backing
up. The displayed image on the screen
is a horizontally reversed mirror image
of the inside rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the selector lever in the
“R” position when the ignition switch
in the “ON” position.
If you move the selector lever out of the
“R” position, the screen returns to the
previous screen. Operating another func-
tion of the navigation system will display
another screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check be-
hind and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
!
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when back-
ing up. Always make sure your in-
tended path is clear.
Use caution just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
!
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual con-
ditions. Depicted distances between
objects and flat surfaces will differ
from actual distances. If you back
up while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a vehicle, a person or
an object. When backing up, be
sure to check behind and all around
the vehicle visually and with mir-
rors before proceeding.
!
Do not use the system when the
back door is not completely closed.
!
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your To-
yota dealer.
!
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
!
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud ad-
here to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.
!
The displayed image may become
darker and moving images may be
slightly distorted when the system
is cold. When backing up, be sure
to check behind and all around the
vehicle visually and with mirror be-
fore proceeding.
When replacing the tires, please consult
your Toyota dealer. If you replace the
tires, the area displayed on the screen
may change.
