• Using a Backup Camera is not enough to completely overcome a vehicle's blind spot.
Many preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or parking lots when
drivers do not see children, pets, or others near their vehicles. Here are a few safety
tips that will help you to avoid a back-over accident.
• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids, toys, and pets
before entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.
• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children,
especially when children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked
cars.
• Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your
vehicle.
• Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running
over a child.
• Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.
• Do not submerge camera in water, which can cause internal damage to the camera.
• Never back up while looking only at the screen. You should always check behind and
around the vehicle when reversing. Always make sure your intended path is clear. If
you back up while looking only at the monitor, you may hit a vehicle, pedestrian,
child, pet, or other object resulting in damage, injury or death. Always reverse
slowly.
• Never depend on the reversing system entirely when reversing up. Objects viewed in
the rear view monitor differ from actual distance because the wide-angle lens is
used. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances
to other objects.
• Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely and securely closed when
reversing.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle
in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. The Digital Camera can
withstand the effects of rain, snow, and inclement weather.
• When strong light directly enters the camera or screen, objects may not be
displayed clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
