ever, the radio can be heard.
It may take some time until the RearView Moni- tor is displayed after the shift selector has been
shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be dis-
torted momentarily until the RearView Monitor
screen is displayed completely. When the shift
selector is returned to a position other than R
(Reverse) , it may take some time until the
screen changes. Objects on the screen may be
distorted until they are completely displayed.
When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display objects. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly enters the camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light. This is not a malfunction.
