9-2Monitor system
When the shift lever is shifted into the "R"
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
the view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
.The RearView Monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing up. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.
. Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite like
ones viewed in the inside and out-
side mirrors.
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
. Do not put anything on the camera.
The rear view camera is installed
above the license plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.
HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
bumper line
*Aare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. Red line
*1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
*2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
*3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
*4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
*5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
REARVIEW MONITOR

Predicted course lines*6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the "R"
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
How to adjust RearView screen
To adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Contrast
and Black Level of the RearView Monitor, press
with the RearView Monitor on,
select the "Display" key on the screen and select
the item key and adjust the level using the center
dial.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
ABOUT REARVIEW MONITOR
Difference between predicted and
actual distances
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 (1.0 m) to
the place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m)
distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that
any object on the hill is further than it appears on

the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill:
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown further than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to
the place
*A, but the actual 1.0 m (3 ft)distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that
any object on the hill is closer than it appears on
the monitor.
Backing up near a projecting object:
The predicted course lines*Ado not touch the
object in the display. However, the vehicle may
hit the object if it projects over the actual backing up course.
Backing up behind a projecting object:
The position*Cis shown further than the
position
*Bin the display. However, the
position
*Cis actually at the same distance
as the position
*A. The vehicle may hit the
object when backing up to the position
*Aif

the object projects over the actual backing up
course.WARNING
.Always turn and check that it is safe
to park your car before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predicted course
line may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the
actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed in-
correctly. If this occurs, drive the
vehicle on a straight road for more
than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is turned
with the ignition switch in the ACC
position, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. .
The displayed line will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
. 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 than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES

9-6Monitor system
1. Visually check that the parking space is safebefore parking your vehicle.
2. The RearView of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
*Aas illustrated when the shift
lever is moved to the "R" (Reverse) position.
3. Slowly back up the vehicle, adjusting the steering wheel so that the predicted course
lines
*Benter the parking space*C.
4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
*Dparallel to the
parking space
*Cwhile referring to the
predicted course lines. 5. When the vehicle is parked in the space
completely, move the shift lever to the
"P"(Park) position and apply the parking
brake
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.
. It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has
been shifted to "R" from another position or
to another position from "R". Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the RearView
Monitor screen is displayed completely.
. When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
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 those of
the actual object.

.Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a
malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not clearly dis-
play objects. 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.Display of predicted course lines can be set to
ON or OFF.

according to the following procedure.
1. Push .
2. Select [Others] and press .
3. Select [Camera] and press .
