DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTIVE

The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different from the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.

Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1 m) to the
place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on
the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.

OPERATING TIPS
.When the shift lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
. When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light is directly coming on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction. .
The colors of objects on the RearView
monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects. This is not a malfunction.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment. This is not a malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView monitor may not
display object clearly. Clean the camera.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent diluted with
water.SAA2275
