REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
2302010 TUNDRA Navigation from April.09 Prod.(OM34481U)
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This allows the image to
appear in the same manner as that of
the rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen,
the shift lever is in the “R” posi-
tion when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position.
If you move the shift lever out of the R posi-
tion, the screen returns to the previous
screen. Operating another function of the
navigation system will display another
screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution just as you would
when backing up andy vehicle.
Never back up while looking only
at the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distances. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle,
a person or an object. When
backing up, be sure to check
behind and all around the vehicle
visually and with mirrors before
proceeding.
Do not use the system when the
tailgate is not completely closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Toyota dealer.
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach,
disassemble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud
adhere to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.
Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this
happens, wipe it off as soon as
possible.
Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the
displayed image may become faint
or dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the
vehicle visually and with mirror
before proceeding.
Do not use the system in the
following cases:
On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
On roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or
slopes.
When using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
