When you place the selector lever in the “R”
(REVERSE) position with the operation
mode in ON, the view behind the vehicle will
automatically appear on the screen of the
SDA or the SDA navigation system. When
you move the selector lever to any other posi-
tion, the screen will return to its original indi-
cation.
Reference lines and upper surface of the rear
bumper (A) are displayed on the screen.
Red line (B) indicates approximately
50 cm behind the rear bumper.
Two Green lines (C) indicate approxi-
mately 20 cm outside of the vehicle body.
Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate dis-
tance from the rear bumper.
How to use the rear-view cam-
era
CAUTION
The rear-view camera has a special lens that
can make objects shown on the screen appear
to be closer or further away than they actu-
ally are.
NOTE
Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no
abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the light from a
vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into the
lens.
• If a fluorescent light shines directly into the
lens, the screen indication may be flicker.
There is no abnormality.
If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
If the atmospheric temperature is extremely
hot or extremely cold, the rear-view camera
images may not be clear.
There is no abnormality.
If a radio set is installed near the camera, the
rear-view camera images may cause electri-
cal system interference and the system may
stop functioning properly.
It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-
nated by water droplets, snow, mud, or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
Please observe the following cautions. Ignor-
ing them could lead to a camera malfunction.
• Do not subject the camera to physical shock
such as striking it strongly or throwing a
thing.
• Do not adhere organic substances, waxes,
oil remover, and glass cleaner to the cam-
era.
If adhered to them, immediately wipe off.
• Do not splash the camera with boiling
water.
• Never spray or splash water on the camera
or around it.
• Do not disconnect, disassemble or modify
the camera.
• Do not scratch the camera, as this may
cause damage to the rear-view camera
images.
