DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
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 from the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.

SAA1899
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to
the place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m)
distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on the hill is further than it appears on
the monitor.
SAA1900
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown further than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to
the place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m)
distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that

HOW TO ADJUST SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness, Tint,
Color, Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
monitor, push the SETTING button with the
RearView monitor on, select the “Display” key on
the screen and select the item key and adjust
the level using the multi-function controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
monitor while the vehicle is moving. Make sure
the parking brake is firmly applied and the
engine is not running.
The display of the predicted course lines can be
set to ON or OFF. For details, see “CAMERA
settings” (P.4-16) .
OPERATING TIPS
.When the selector/shift lever is shifted to
the R (Reverse) position, the monitor screen
automatically changes to the RearView
monitor mode.
. It may take some time until the RearView
monitor is displayed after the selector/shift
lever has been shifted to R from another
position or to another position from “R”.
Objects may be distorted momentarily until
the RearView monitor screen is displayed
completely. .
When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
monitor may differ somewhat from those of
the actual object.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a
malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView monitor may not clearly display
objects. Clean the camera.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened with mild detergent diluted with
water.

WARNING
.The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
. Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the heater and air
conditioner system.

Automatic operation
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO):
This mode may be used all year round. The
system works automatically to control the inside
temperature, air flow distribution and fan speed
after the preferred temperature is set manually.
1. Turn the “
” fan speed control dial and air
flow control dial to the “AUTO” position. The

— For Canada: 64 to 908F (18 to 328C)
. The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also
controlled automatically.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
Heating (A/C OFF):
The air conditioner does not activate. When you

conditioner will automatically be turned
on at outside temperatures above 238F
(−58C) to defog the windshield, and the
air recirculation mode will automatically
be turned off.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger
compartment to improve the defogging
performance.
