When the selector lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows the
view directly to the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
cThe system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
cThe rearview camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
cObjects viewed in the rearview monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
cMake sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
cDo not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled beside the license plate light.cWhen washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.
cDo not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

jects. This is not a malfunction.

from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.

tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.

cDo not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
cDo not use body wax on the camera window.
