Rear view camera (if equipped)
A rear view camera is attached to the rear
gate. When the ignition switch is“ON ”and
the shift lever (MT models) or select lever
(AT models) is set to “R ”, the rear view
camera automatically displays the rear
view image from the vehicle on the
navigation monitor.
WARNING
. Since the rear view camera uses
a wide-angle lens, the image on
the monitor is different from the
actual view in terms of distance.
. Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, you should always check the rear view and
the surrounding area with your
eyes and mirrors, and move
backward at a slow speed. Mov-
ing backward only by checking
the monitor could cause an acci-dent.

camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell
a strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.

high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to contact the camera

device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction,
fire or electric shock may occur.
. If mud or snow sticks to or is frozen on the camera, you must
be very careful removing it.
Otherwise, damage done to the
camera may cause a fire or
electric shock. Pour water or

camera or wiring. Otherwise, da-
mage or fire may occur.
