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 hit the camera or subject it
to strong impact as this may cause
its position and mounting angle to
change.
Do not strongly rub the camera lens.
If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot 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 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.

The rear view monitor system cam-
era
The rear view monitor system camera is lo-
cated on the trunk as shown in the illustra-
tion.
The camera uses a special lens. The dis-
tance of the image that appears on the
screen differs from the actual distance.
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.
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

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM

In any of the following situations, there
is a margin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
When the grade behind the vehicle
slopes up sharply, objects appear to
be farther away than they actually
are.
When the grade behind the vehicle
slopes down sharply, objects ap-
pear to be closer than they actually
are.
— Driving precautions

When any part of the vehicle sags
due to the number of passengers or
the distribution of the load, there is
a margin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the actual
distance/course on the road.
 1Approx. 1.5 ft. (0.5 m)
The distance that appears on the
screen between threedimensional ob-
jects (such as vehicles) and flat sur-
faces (such as the road) and the actual
distance differ as follows.
In reality,
A= B< C ( A and B are
equally far away;
C is farther than A
and B). However, on the screen, the sit-
uation appears to be
B< C< A.
On the screen, it appears that a truck is
parking about 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) away. Howev-
er, in reality if you back up to point
B , you
will hit the truck.
