REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
200
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The left and right displayed on the
screen are the same as those of the in-
side 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
the “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
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Always check the vehicle sur-
rounding area, because the guide
lines are ancillary lines.
The guide lines are ancillary lines
and do not change even if the steer-
ing wheel is turned.
Do not use the system when the
trunk is not completely 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 mirror 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 an uneven road, such as a
slope.
