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.
