Rear view monitor system (if equipped)
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of
the view behind the vehicle while reversing. The image is displayed in
reverse on the screen. This allows the image to appear in the same manner
as that of the rear view mirror.
Rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in “R”.
If you move the lever out of “R”,
the screen returns to the previ-
ous one.

■The rear sunshade can be used when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

again and the vehicle reaches a speed of 9 mph (15 km/h). To raise the sunshade
again, press the switch.
■After the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to OFF
The rear sunshade can be raised and lowered for approximately 1 minute.
