Rear View Monitor Cautions
The rear view monitor is a visual assist system when reversing the vehicle that provides
images from the rear of the vehicle.
Note
l
If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it cannot
be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
l If the camera temperature changes rapidly, such as by pouring hot water on it under cold
temperature conditions, the rear view monitor may not operate correctly.
Rear View Parking Camera Location
The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when reversing the vehicle. The images on
the screen may be different from the actual conditions. Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes. Reversing the
vehicle by only looking at the screen may cause an accident or a collision with an object.
lWhen the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen
and may be dimmer than usual, which could cause difficulty in confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
l Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle
may deviate.
l Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
l The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents,
organic solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any
are spilled on the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth immediately.
l Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or
a hard brush. The cover may be damaged affecting the image.

Switching to the Rear View Monitor Display
Shift the shift lever to R with the ignition switch in the ON position to switch the display to the
rear view monitor display.
Note
When the shift lever is shifted from R to another shift lever position, the screen returns to the
previous display.
Displayable Range on the Screen
The images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions.
Note
lThe displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions.
l The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends
cannot be displayed.
l The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance because
the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.
l Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not
install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating parts
or parts made of reflective material.
l It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
• In darkened areas.
• When the temperature around the lens is high/low.
• When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.
• When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.
• When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.
l If the camera picks up a high-intensity light such as sunlight reflected off the vehicle body, a
bright belt (light line) may appear on the display. (Smear phenomenon)

Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confirm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.
Note
Images displayed on the navigation display from the rear view parking camera are reversed
images (mirror images).
(1) Shift the shift lever to R to switch the display to the rear view monitor display.
(2) Confirming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.
(3) When the shift lever is shifted from R to another shift lever position, the screen returns to the previous display.

Variance Between Actual Road
Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.
1When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and
load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the
actual distance.
2When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle
When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed on the
screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.
