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 ex-
ample while parking.
INFORMATION
●
The screen illustrations used in this text
are intended as examples, and may differ
from the image that is actually displayed
on the screen.
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
The rear view monitor system is a sup-
plemental device intended to assist the
driver when backin g up. When backing
up, be sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and using the
mirrors before proceeding. 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
●Never depend on the rear view monitor
system entirely when backing up. The
image and the position of the guide lines
displayed on the screen may differ from
the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the
brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering
wheel will vary according to traffic condi-
tions, road surface conditions, vehicle
condition, etc. when parking. It is neces-
sary 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.
CAUTION
●Do not use the rear view monitor 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 vehicle
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 mirrors before pro-
ceeding.
●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 dis-
tances between objects and pedestrians
that appear in the im age displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (See page 381.)
