CAUTION
■
When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
●
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
●
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
●
Vehicles with spare tire: The spare tire is the rear-most edge of the vehicle
extending past the rear bumper. Take care not to hit any obstacles with the
spare tire while reversing.
■
Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●
If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.
●
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
