1. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
REAR VIEW MONITOR
SYSTEM
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle with fixed
guide lines on the screen while backing
up, for example while parking.
INFORMATION
●The screen illustrations used in this text
are intended as examples, and may dif-
fer from the image that is actually dis-
played on the screen.
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
When backing up, be sure to visually
check all around the vehicle both di-
rectly and using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may hit
another vehicle, and could possibly
cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following precau-
tions when using the rear view monitor
system.
CAUTION
●The rear view monitor system is a sup-
plemental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. 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 shown on the screen may dif-
fer from the actual state, and you could
collide with another vehicle or obstacles
if backing up looking only at the screen,
possibly causing an accident. When
backing up, be sure to check in front of
and behind the vehicle, both directly and
with mirrors.
● Be sure to back up slowly, depressing
the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
● The instructions given are only guide-
lines. When and how much to turn the
steering wheel will vary according to
traffic conditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc. when park-
ing. It is necessary to be fully aware of
this before using the rear view monitor
system.
● When parking, be sure to check that the
parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it.

PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM
CAUTION
●Do not use system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow
• When using tire chains or emergency
tires
• When the trunk is not closed com- pletely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
● In low temperatures, the screen may
darken or the image may become faint.
The image could distort when the vehi-
cle is moving, or you may become
unable to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using the mir-
rors before proceeding.
● If the tire sizes are changed, the position
of the fixed guide lines displayed on the
screen may change.
● The camera uses a special lens. The
distances between objects and pedestri-
ans that appear in the image displayed
on the screen will differ from the actual
distances. (See page 295.)

The rear view monitor system displays
an image of the view from the bumper

vary according to vehicle orientation
conditions.
● Objects which are close to either corner
of the bumper or under the bumper can-
not be displayed.

THE CAMERA
The camera for the rear view monitor
system is located as shown in the illus-
tration.
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.

PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM
The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width extension guide lines may not actu-
ally 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
extension 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 fixed guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance /course on
the road.
NOTICE
● The rear view monitor system may not
operate properly in the following cases,
or if the precautions described below are
not followed.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof con-
struction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
• Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it cannot
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere
to the camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured on
the vehicle in cold weather, the system
may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may
result in the camera malfunctioning.
● Do not expose the camera to strong
impact as this could cause a malfunc-
tion. If this happens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.

WHEN THE GROUND BEHIND
THE VEHICLE SLOPES UP
SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear to
be closer to the vehicle than the actual
distance. Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than they ac-
tually are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the
guidelines 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 ac-
tual distance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than they actu-
ally are. In the same way, there will be
a margin of error between the guide-
lines and the actual distance/course on
the road.
