2010 ACURA RDX mirror

If the engine has just been started, it
may take a short time for the system
to display the rearview.
The camera display brightness is
adjusted automatically by sensors. If
you use the camera display
continuously at high temperature,
the image will gradually dim and
eventually turn off automatically. If
you change to another shift position,
the camera display will come on
again when you return to reverse.
The inside mirror will be hot when
you use the monitor for an extended
period of time.
If a bright light (such as sunlight) is
reflected on the mirror, the image
may be difficult to see.
Rearview Camera Guide Line
The camera display has parking
guide lines that indicate distance
from your vehicle.
1st Line 24in (0.6m)
2nd Line 39in (1m)
3rd Line 79in (2m)
4th Line 118in (3m)
NOTE●The rearview camera has a unique
lens that makes objects appear
closer than they actually are.●The rearview camera display has a
limited coverage, and the size and
position of objects may appear
different than they actually are.
Make sure to check the
surrounding area carefully.
To turn the guide line on and off,
hold the power button for more than
3 seconds when the shift is in
reverse, the on/off setting will be
kept when you change gear and
return to reverse.

You should do these checks and
adjustments before you drive your
vehicle:1. Make sure all windows, mirrors, and outside lights are clean and
unobstructed. Remove frost, snow,
or ice.
2. Check that the hood is fully closed.
3. Visually check the tires. If a tire looks low, use a gauge to check its
pressure.
4. Check that any items you may be carrying are stored properly or
fastened down securely. 5. Check the seat adjustment (see
page 134).
6. Check the adjustment of the inside and outside mirrors (see page
146).
7. Check the steering wheel adjustment (see page 122).
8. Make sure the doors and the tailgate are securely closed and
locked.
9. Fasten your seat belt. Check that your passengers have fastened
their seat belts (see page 15).10. When you start the engine, check
the gauges and indicators in the
instrument panel, and the
messages on the multi-information
display (see pages 63,73and 74).

Since lighting and wiring vary by
trailer type and brand, you should
have a qualified technician install a
suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper
equipment or installation can cause
damage to your vehicle's electrical
system and affect your vehicle
warranty.
Additional Towing EquipmentMany states, Canadian provinces and
territories require special outside
mirrors when towing a trailer. Even if
they don't, you should install special
mirrors if you cannot clearly see
behind you, or if the trailer creates a
blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or rental
agency if any other items are
recommended or required for your
towing situation.Pre-Tow Checklist
When preparing to tow, and before
driving away, be sure to check the
following:
●The vehicle has been properly
serviced, and the suspension,
cooling system, and lights are in
good operating condition.
