■Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
CAUTION
■When using the rear view monito r system, observe the following pre-
cautions to avoid an accident that coul d result in death or serious inju-
ries
● Never depend solely on the rear view monitor system when reversing.
● Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
● Always check the vehicle surroundi ng area, because the guide lines are
estimates of distance and location.
● The guide lines are assistant 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 tailgate 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 your Toyota
dealer.
● 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.
