Rear view monitor system
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the vehicle while reversing. The image is
displayed in reverse on the screen. This allows the image to appear
in the same manner as that of the rear view mirror.
Vehicles with a “touch screen”
Refer to the ““touch screen” Owner’s Manual”.
Vehicles without a “touch screen”
The rear view image is dis-
played on the inside rear view
mirror when the shift lever is in
“R”.
This reversed image is a simi-
lar image to the one on the
inside rear view mirror.
If you move the lever out of
“R”, the screen is turned off.

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.
Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed
image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or
not entirely visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the
mirrors before proceeding.
Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are
ancillary lines.
The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if the steering
wheel is turned.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
Do not use the system if the trunk/back door is not completely closed.

NOTICE
Camera sensor
Keep the windshield clean at all times.
LKA performance may deteriorate due to the presence of raindrops, con-
densation, ice or snow on the windshield.
Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near the camera
sensor.
When adjusting the rear view mirror, make sure that it does not block the
camera lens.
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on
the images. In such a case, use the windshield defogger to provide warm,
dry air to the windshield.
Do not place anything on the dashboard.
The camera sensor may recognize the image reflected on the windshield
as lane markings by mistake.
Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor or remove it.
The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
Do not subject the camera sensor to strong impact or force, and do not
disassemble the camera sensor.
Observe the following to ensure that the
LKA system functions correctly.

Safety checks before towing
Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and hitch
ball is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer
will add to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that you will
not be towing a load that exceeds the maximum permissible axle capac-
ity.
Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle
if the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust
the extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that
they always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
NOTICE
When the rear bumper strengthening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that
area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the section concerned which may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when attach-
ing a steel bracket.
