WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor could result in serious
injury or death.
.
The RearView monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and
look out the windows, and check
mirrors to be sure that it is safe to
move before operating the vehicle.
Always back up slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in showing large station-
ary objects directly behind the vehi-
cle, to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.
. The system cannot completely elim-
inate blind spots and may not show
every object. .
Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor
because of its monitoring range
limitation. The system will not show
small objects below the bumper,
and may not show objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
. 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 than
when viewed in the rear view and
outside mirrors.
. Make sure that the lift gate is
securely closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the Rear-
View camera. The RearView 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.

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

the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on
the hill is viewed in the monitor further than it
appears.

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 m) to the

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 view is switched, the display
images on the screen may be displayed with
some delay.
. 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 objects 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.
