REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
200
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The left and right displayed on the
screen are the same as those of the in-
side rear view mirror.
Vehicles with smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the engine switch is in
the “ON” position.
If you move the shift lever out of the “R”
position, 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 any 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 distance. 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
trunk is not completely closed.
Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-
played 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 ve-
hicle visually and with mirror be-
fore proceeding.
Do not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
When using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
On an uneven road, such as a
slope.

NOTICE
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, disas-
semble 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.
Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible.
When replacing the tires, please
consult your Toyota dealer. If you
replace the tires, the area dis-
played on the screen may change.
When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
INFORMATION
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If wa-
ter droplets, snow, or mud adhere to
the lens, rinse with water and wipe
with a soft cloth. If the lens is ex-
tremely dirty, wash it with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
Area displayed on screen
Image is displayed approximately level
on screen.
On screen
Corners of bumper
The area detected by the camera is limi-
ted. The camera does not detect objects
which are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper.

4. Touch either the or to ad-

position mark.
5. Touch “OK”.
The map will be displayed. TIRE CHANGE CALIBRATION
The tire change calibration function will be
used when replacing the tires. This func-
tion will adjust the miscalculation caused
by the circumference difference between
the old and new tires. If this procedure is
not performed when the tires are replaced,
the current vehicle position mark may be
incorrectly displayed.
To perform a distance calibration pro-
cedure, touch “Tire Change” on the
“Calibration” screen.
The message appears and the quick dis-
tance calibration is automatically started.
A few seconds later, a map will be dis-
played.

After replacing a tire, implement the op-
eration described in the “TIRE
CHANGE CALIBRATION”. (See page
222.)
This navigation system uses tire turning
data and is designed to work with factory −
specified tires for your vehicle. Installing
tires that are larger or smaller than the orig-
inally equipped diameter may cause inac-
curate display of the vehicle’s position.
The tire pressure also affects the diameter
of the tires so please make sure the tire
pressure of all four tires is correct. This system uses the maps of DENSO.
