REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
232
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 allows the image to
appear in the same manner as that of
the rear view mirror.
Vehicles with smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, the shift lever is in the “R” posi-
tion when the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is in the IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, the shift lever is in the “R” posi-
tion 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-
mental device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
Vehicles with Intuitive parking as-
sist—when the Intuitive parking assist are
turned on and an obstacle is detected in
front of or behind your vehicle, a warning
appears on the rear view monitor. For de-
tails, refer to the “Owner’s Manual”.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. In wide mode, the per-
ceived distance in the images
shown on the screen is particularly
different from the actual distance.
Depicted distances between ob-
jects and flat surfaces will differ
from the actual distances. If you
back up while looking only at the
screen, you may hit a vehicle, a per-
son or an object. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Do not use the system when the
backdoor is not completely closed.
In the evening, or in other situa-
tions with no light sources, the
sides may not be visible in wide
mode.
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.
