On models with navigation systemRefer to the navigation system
manual for operation of the rearview
camera.
On models without navigation systemYou can turn the camera display on
and off by pressing the power button
when the shift lever is in reverse.
The camera display turns on
everytime you shift to reverse, even if
you turned it off the last time.
Whenever you shift to reverse (R)
with the ignition switch in the ON
(II) position, the rearview appears on
a display in the rearview mirror.
For the best picture, always keep the
rearview camera clean, and do not
cover the camera lens. To avoid
scratching the lens when you clean
it, use a moist, soft cloth.
Since the rearview camera display
area is limited, you should always
back up slowly and carefully, and
look behind you for obstacles.

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.
