Rear view monitor system
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the area behind the vehicle while reversing. The image is
displayed in reverse on the screen. This reversed image is a similar
image to the one on the inside rear view mirror.
The rear view image is dis-
played when the shift lever is
in the R position.
If the shift lever is shifted out of
R, the screen returns to the
previous one.

CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries:
● Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
● Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
● Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
● Do not use the system if the back door is open.
■ Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
● If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
● Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
● If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.
● The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
● When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunction.
● Do not scrub the lens strongly or polish the lens using stiff brushes or
abrasive cleansers. Doing so could scratch the lens and affect the 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.
