When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
●Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor could result in serious
injury or death.
● The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and look out the win-
dows, and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operating the
vehicle. Always back up slowly.
● The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
● The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show ev-
ery object. ●
Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
● Objects in a RearView Monitor will ap-
pear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
● Make sure that the liftgate is securely
close when backing up.
● Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.
● When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock. ●
Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.CAUTION
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

equipped)

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
Aare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body. ● Red line
1: approx. 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
● Yellow line
2: approx.1m(3ft)
● Green line
3: approx.2m(7ft)
● Green line
4: approx. 3 m (10 ft) Vehicle width guide lines
5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing the vehicle up a hill, the distance
guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines are
shown closer than the actual distance. For ex-
ample, the display shows 1.0 m (3 ft) to the place
A, but the actual 1.0 m (3 ft) distance on the hill

is the placeB. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing the vehicle down a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown further than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 1.0 m (3 ft) to the
place
A, but the actual 1.0 m (3 ft) distance on the hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up behind a projecting object
The positionCis shown further than the position
Bin the display; However, the positionCis
actually at the same distance as the position
A.
The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position
Aif the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
To adjust the quality of the screen, use the follow-
ing procedure:
1. Press the ENTER/SETTING button once for “brightness” or twice for “contrast.”
2. Adjust the level using the TUNE/FOLDER knob and then press the ENTER/SETTING
button to apply the adjustment.
● Do not adjust the Brightness or Contrast of
the RearView Monitor while the vehicle is
moving.
OPERATING TIPS
CAUTION
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with a di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wipe
with a dry cloth.
● Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected. ●
When the shift lever is shifted to R (Re-
verse) , the monitor screen automatically
changes to the RearView Monitor mode.
However, the radio can be heard.
● It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has
been shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the RearView
Monitor screen is displayed completely.
When the shift lever is returned to a position
other than R (Reverse) , it may take some
time until the screen changes. Objects on
the screen may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
● 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 screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor 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 change the brightness.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not display ob-
jects. Clean the camera.
● Do not use body wax on the camera window.
If body wax does get on the camera window,
wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

WARNING
●The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
● Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up. NOTE:
● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
