If the engine has just been started, it
may take a short time for the system
to display the rear view.
The camera display brightness is
adjusted automatically by sensors. If
you use the camera display
continuously at high temperatures,
the image will gradually dim.
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.

guide lines that indicate distance
from your vehicle.
1st Line 7.8 in (0.2 m)
2nd Line 39 in (1 m)
3rd Line 79 in (2 m)
4th Line 118 in (3 m)
NOTE:●The rearview camera has a unique
lens that makes objects appear
closer than they actually are.●The rearview camera display has
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 off the guide lines, press and
hold the power button for more than
3 seconds. The guide lines appear
every time you shift to reverse, even

BSI System OperationA:Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5m)
B:Approximately 10 ft. (3m)
C:Approximately 10 ft. (3m)
BSI system is designed to detect
vehicles in specified alert zones
adjacent to your vehicle, particularly in
harder to see areas commonly known
as‘‘blind spots. ’’ When BSI detects a vehicle in an alert
zone, a BSI alert indicator comes on
near the corresponding outside
rearview mirror.
While your vehicle is moving forward
at a speed between 6 mph (10 km/h)
and 100 mph (160 km/h), the BSI alert
indicator comes on under either of the
following conditions:
●Another vehicle overtakes you,
entering the alert zone from behind,
at a speed that differs from your
vehicle's speed by no more than 31
mph (50 km/h).●You pass a vehicle at a speed that
differs from that vehicle's speed by
no more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The indicator comes on
approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle enters the alert zone.
The system will not alert you to all
vehicles in blind spot zones (such as
vehicles you have just passed which
you should already be aware of) unless
it remains in the alert zone for
approximately 2 or more seconds.
While the system is on, BSI is active
whenever the shift lever is in the D or S
position.
