When the selector/shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
.The rearview camera is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper backing up. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.
. Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite like
ones viewed in the inside and out-
side mirrors.
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
. Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is
installed above the license plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

Predicted course lines*6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the selector/shift lever is in the
R (Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
. Always turn and check that it is safe
to park your car before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predicted course
line may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the actual course line.
. If predicted course lines are dis-
played incorrectly, drive the vehicle
on a straight road for 110 yd (100 m)
at a speed of above 20 MPH (30
km/h) .
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width guide line should be
used as a reference only when the
vehicle is on a level paved surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor
is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects. The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
