REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM

Do not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
When using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
On roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or
slopes.
NOTICE
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Toyota dealer.
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
Do not scrub the lens strongly or
polish the lens using stiff brushes
or abrasive cleansers. Doing so
could scratch the lens and affect
the image.
Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible.
When replacing the tires, please
consult your Toyota dealer. If you
replace the tires, the position of the
guide lines displayed on the screen
may change.
When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
INFORMATION
 If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud ad-
here to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.
 The regular mode image looks
rougher than a wide mode.

The rear view monitor system camera is lo-
cated on the back door as shown in the il-
lustration.
The camera uses a special lens. The per-
ceived distance from images that appear
on the screen differs from the actual dis-
tance.
When the camera is used under fluores-
cent lights, sodium lights, mercury lights
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas
may appear to flicker.
In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, but
this is not a malfunction.
In the dark (for example, at night)
When the temperature near the lens is
high or low
When water droplets are adhering to
the camera, or when humidity is high
(for example, when it rains)
When foreign matter (for example,
mud) is adhering to the camera
When the camera has scratches or dirt
on it
When the sun or the beam of head-
lights is shining directly into the camera
lens
If a bright light (for example, sunlight re-
flected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
the camera, the smear effect
∗, peculiar to
the CCD camera, may occur.
∗: Smear effect — A phenomenon that oc-
curs when a bright light (for example, sun-
light reflected off the vehicle body) is
picked up by the camera; when trans-
mitted by the camera, the light source ap-
pears to have a vertical streak above and
below it.

Instructions given are only examples.
When and how much to turn the steer-
ing wheel will vary according to traffic
conditions, road surface conditions,
vehicle condition, etc. when parking.
It is necessary to be fully aware of this
before using the rear view monitor sys-
tem. Also, when parking, be sure to
check that the parking space will ac-
commodate your vehicle before ma-
neuvering into it.
CAUTION
Depending on the circumstances of
the vehicle (number of passengers,
amount of luggage, etc.), the position
of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to check
visually behind and all around the ve-
hicle before proceeding.
(a) To activate the rear view monitor
system
Vehicles with smart key system —
To activate the rear view monitor sys-
tem, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system —
