1. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM OPERATION
1To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the “POWER” <“EN-
GINE START STOP”> switch is in ON
mode. (Vehicles with
a 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. (Vehicles without a
smart key system)
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This reversed image is
a similar image to the one on the inside
rear view mirror.
If you move the shift lever out of the “R”
position, the screen returns to the previ-
ous screen. Operating another function
of the navigation system will display
another screen.
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 dif-
ferent from actual conditions. Depicted
distances between objects and flat sur-
faces 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 vehi-
cle visually and with mirrors before pro-
ceeding.
● Always check the vehicle surrounding
area, because the guide lines are ancil-
lary lines.
● The guide lines are ancillary lines and
do not change even if the steering wheel
is turned.
● Do not use the system when the trunk is
not completely closed.
● Use your own eyes to confirm the vehi-
cle’s surroundings, as the displayed
image may become faint or dark, and
moving images will be distorted, or not
entirely visible when the outside temper-
ature is low. When backing up, be sure
to check behind and all around the vehi-
cle visually and with mirror before pro-
ceeding.
● Do not use the system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow.
• When using tire chains or emergency tires.
• On an uneven road, such as a slope.
