When driving
Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying guide
lines and an image of the view behind the vehicle while backing up,
for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in th is text are intended as examples,
and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.
The rear view image is dis-
played when the shift position
is in R and the engine switch
is in the ON position.Vehicles with an automatic
transmission
Vehicles with a manual
transmission
The rear view monitor system
will be deactivated when
• The shift lever is in any posi- tion other than R.
• The display will be turned off automatically after 5 min-
utes.

CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system
When backing up, be sure to check visually behind and all around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
● The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist
the driver when backing up. Never depend on the rear view monitor sys-
tem 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 differ from the actual state, and you
could collide with another vehicle 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.
● When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traf-
fic conditions, road surface conditions, 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.
● Do not use system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains
• When the back door is not closed completely
• 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 vehicle is moving, or you may
become unable to see the image on the screen. Be sure to check direct
visually and with mirror all around the vehicle before proceeding.
● If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on
the screen may change.

Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelet and the cables or
chains. Always be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while
towing.
● If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
