. If an electronic device (such as a digital
camera) is directly connected to the vehicle
using a USB cable, no image will be
displayed on the screen.
. If the file name is too long, some file names
may not be entirely displayed.
. When the total number of characters in the
file name exceeds 100 or if 1 file name in a
directory exceeds 100 characters, all files
will show a shortened 8-character version.
The image will still be displayed when
selected. When the selector lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
.
The rearview camera is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper backing up. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.
. Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite like
ones viewed in the inside and out-
side mirrors.
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
. Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is
installed above the license plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINESGuiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
bumper line
*A
are displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. Red line
*1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line*2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
*3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
*4: approx. 10 ft (3 m) Vehicle width guide lines
*5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
*6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the selector lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
. Always turn and check that it is safe
to park your car before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predicted course
line may not be displayed correctly. .
On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the
actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predicted
course lines may not be displayed
correctly. If this occurs, drive the
vehicle on a straight road for more
than 5 minutes.
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width guide line should be
used as a reference only when the
vehicle is on a level paved surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor
is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are

closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
*D
parallel to the
parking space
*C
while referring to the
predicted course lines.

The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different from the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
SAA1899
Backing up on a steep uphillWhen backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to
the place

, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m)
distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on the hill is further than it appears on
the monitor.

in the display. However, the
position

. The vehicle may hit the
object when backing up to the position

if
the object projects over the actual backing up course.
HOW TO ADJUST SCREENTo adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness, Tint,
Color, Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
monitor, push the SETTING button with the
RearView monitor on, select the “Display” key on
the screen and select the item key and adjust
the level using the multi-function controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
monitor while the vehicle is moving. Make sure
the parking brake is firmly applied and the
engine is not running.
The display of the predicted course lines can be
set to ON or OFF. For details, see “CAMERA
settings” earlier in this section.OPERATING TIPS.
When the selector lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView monitor
mode.
. It may take some time until the RearView
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to R from another position
or to another position from “R”. Objects may
be distorted momentarily until the RearView
monitor screen is displayed completely. .
When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
monitor may differ somewhat from those of
the actual object.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a
malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView monitor may not clearly display
objects. Clean the camera.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
