Rear view monitor system
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the area behind the vehicle. The image is displayed in
reverse on the screen. This reversed image is a similar image to the
one on the inside rear view mirror.
The rear view image is dis-
played when the shift position
is in R.
The screen is turned off if any
one of the following conditions
are met:
• The shift position is
changed out of R
• The screen remains on for 5
minutes

Rear view monitor system camera
The rear view monitor system camera is
located on the back door as shown in the
illustration. The camera uses a special
lens. The distance of the image that
appears on the screen differs from the
actual distance.
In the following cases, it may become dif-
ficult to see the images on the screen,
even when the system is functioning cor-
rectly.
The vehicle is in a dark area, such
as at night.
The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low.
Water droplets are on the camera
lens or humidity is high, such as
when it rains.
Foreign matter, such as snow or
mud, adheres to the camera lens.
When the camera has scratches or
dirt on it.
The sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens.
A bright object such as a white wall
is reflected in the mirror surface
over the monitor.

CAUTION
When using the rear view monitor system, observe the following pre-
cautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious inju-
ries.
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
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 the
mirrors before proceeding.
Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are
ancillary lines.
The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if the steering
wheel is turned.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
Do not use the system if the back door open.
Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
Caution while driving in reverse
Do not change modes while the vehicle is moving.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav-
ity of 12-volt battery electrolyte.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions.
Do not try to forcibly open a window, scrape an outside rear
view mirror surface or move a wiper or outside rear view mir-
ror that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it
from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of the windshield.
Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis.
Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow
that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the
brakes.
