REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
250
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.
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
“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 con-
ditions. Depicted distances be-
tween 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 per-
son 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
back door is open or not complete-
ly 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 mirrors 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 roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or
slopes.

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 expose the camera to
strong impact as this may cause a
malfunction.
Do not strongly rub the camera
lens. If the camera lens is
scratched, it can not transmit a
clear image.
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 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.
When replacing the tires, please
consult your Toyota dealer If you
replace the tires, the area dis-
played on the screen may change.
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.

The rear view monitor system cam-
era
The rear view monitor system camera is lo-
cated on the back door
as shown in the il-
lustration. The camera uses a special
lens. The distance of the image that ap-
pears on the screen dif fers from the actual
distance.
In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, even
when the system is functioning.
In the dark (for example, at night)
When the temperature near the lens is
high or low
When water droplets are adhering to
the camera, or when humidity is high
(for example, when it rains)
When foreign matter (for example,
snow or mud) is adhering to the camera
When the camera has scratches or dirt
on it
When the sun or the beam of head-
lights is shining directly into the camera
lens
If a bright light (for example, sunlight re-
flected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
the camera, the smear effect
∗ peculiar to
the camera may occur.
∗: Smear effect—A phenomenon that oc-
curs when a bright light (for example, sun-
light reflected off the vehicle body) is
picked up by the camera; when trans-
mitted by the camera, the light source ap-
pears to have a vertical streak above and
below it.
When the camera is used under fluores-
cent lights, sodium lights, or mercury lights
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas
may appear to flicker.
