Rear View Monitor Precautions
Area displayed on the screen
The rear view monitor system dis-
plays an image of the view from the
bumper of the rear area of the vehi-
cle.
z
The area displayed on the screen
may vary according to vehicle ori-
entation conditions.
z
Objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be displayed.
z
The camera uses a special lens.
The distance of the image that
appears on the screen differs from
the actual distance.
z
Items which are located higher than
the camera may not be displayed
on the monitor.
Camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water
droplets, snow, mud etc.) is adhering
to the camera, it cannot transmit a
clear image. In this case, flush it with
a large quantity of water and wipe the
camera lens clean with a soft and wet
cloth.
NOTE:
The rear view monitor system may
not operate properly in the following
cases.
z
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change.
z
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, dis-
assemble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
z
When cleaning the camera lens,
flush the camera with a large quan -
tity of water and wipe it with a soft
and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing
the camera lens may cause the
camera lens to be scratched and
unable to transmit a clear image.
z
Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or a glass
coating to adhere to the camera. If
this happens, wipe it off as soon as
possible.
z
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
z
When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
