Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located above
the license plate.
Using the camera
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a
mild cleanser and rinse.
Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left and
right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In
any of the following situations, there is a margin of error between the
fixation guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the
road.

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guide lines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guide lines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.

When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of
the load, there is a margin of
error between the fixation
guide lines on the screen and
the actual distance/course on
the road.
When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of
three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the distance guide
lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends out-
ward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.
Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. In the case shown in
the illustration, the truck
appears to be outside of the
vehicle width guide lines and
the vehicle does not look as if
it hits the truck. However, the
rear body of the truck may
actually cross over the vehicle
width guide lines. In reality if
you back up as guided by the
vehicle width guide lines, the
vehicle may hit the truck.

ings and the area behind the
vehicle. On the screen, it

ity if you back up to point ,

screen, it appears that is

away. However, in reality, the
distance to and is the
same, and is farther than
