Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent light, sodium lights, or mercury lights

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 imag es 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 dis-
tances.●
Do not use the system if the back door is open.
