• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a malfunction.

• The colors of objects on the RearView Monitor may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
• When the contrast of objects is low at night, pressing the ENTER/SETTING button may not
