1. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
1. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM OPERATION
1To display the rear view image on the
screen, shift the shift position to “R”
when the “POWER” switch is in ON
mode and the back door is completely
closed.
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This reversed image is
a similar image to the one on the inside
rear view mirror.
If you move the shift position out of the
“R”, the screen returns to the previous
screen. Operating another function of
the navigation system will display
another screen.
The rear view monitor system is a sup-
plement device intended to assist back
up. When backing up, be sure to check
behind and all around the vehicle visu-
ally.
CAUTION
●Never depend on the rear view monitor
system entirely when backing up.
Always make sure your intended path is
clear.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
●Never back up while looking only at the
screen. The image on the screen is dif-
ferent from actual conditions. Depicted
distances between objects and flat sur-
faces will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at the
screen, you may hit a vehicle, a person
or an object. When backing up, be sure
to check behind and all around the vehi-
cle visually and with mirrors before pro-
ceeding.
●Do not use the system when the back
door is not completely closed.
●Use your own eyes to confirm the vehi-
cle’s surroundings, as the displayed
image may become faint or dark, and
moving images will be distorted, or not
entirely visible when the outside temper-
ature is low. When backing up, be sure
to check behind and all around the vehi-
cle visually and with mirror before pro-
ceeding.
