Rear view monitor system camera
■
Smear effect The rear view monitor system camera is
located on the back door as shown in the
illustration.
In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, even
when the system is functioning correctly. ●
The vehicle is in a dark area, such as at
night. ●
The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low. ●
Water droplets are on the camera lens
or humidity is high, such as when it
rains. ●
Foreign matter, such as snow or mud,
adheres to the camera lens. ●
The sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens. ●
A bright object such as a white wall is
reflected in the mirror surface over the
monitor. ●
The camera has scratches or dirt on it.
If a bright light, such as sunlight reflected
off the vehicle body, is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect* characteristic to
the camera may occur.
*: Smear effect  A phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light is picked up by
the camera; when transmitted by the
camera, the light source appears to have
a vertical streak above and below it.

■
Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent light, sodium lights, or mercury lights
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
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.
