■Differences between the rear view or wide rear view and actual
roads
The guide lines on the screen are intended for flat surfaces (such
as the road). Be aware of the following points when three-dimen-
sional objects with protrusions (obstacles such as the cargo bed of
a truck) are nearby.
● Projected course lines
Guide lines are displayed in reference to a level road surface and
cannot be used to determine th e location of three-dimensional
objects. Confirm the safety of your surroundings directly. Even if
it seems that the cargo bed of a truck is outside the projected
course lines and a collision will not occur according to the
screen, it may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in a col-
lision.

●Distance guide lines
Guide lines are displayed in reference to the road surface and
cannot be used to determine th e distance of three-dimensional
objects from the vehicle. Confirm the safety of your surroundings
directly. On the screen, it appears that a truck is parking at point
according to the distance guide lines. However, in reality if
you back up to point , you will hit the truck. On the screen, it
appears that is closest and is farthest away. However, in
reality, the distance to and is same, and is farther than and .
● Under vehicle terrain view
The tire position indicator lines and vehicle position indicator
lines may differ from actual v ehicle positions depending on the
number of passengers, weight of the load, road grade, road sur-
face conditions, brightness of the surrounding environment, etc.
Always drive the vehicle while directly confirming the safety of
your surroundings.

■Using under vehicle terrain view
●The images displayed were previously taken approximately 10 ft. (3 m)
behind the current vehicle position.
Therefore, actual conditions may differ from those shown on the screen in
the following situations.
• An obstacle has appeared after the image was taken
• Loose material like sand or snow has crumbled or shifted
• An obstacle has moved
• There is a puddle, tract of mud, etc., within the display range
• The vehicle slips
● In the following situations, actual tire positions and vehicle position may dif\
-
fer from those indicated by the tire position indicator lines and vehicle posi-
tion indicator lines.
• Tires have been replaced
• Optional equipment has been installed
WARNING
■ Guide lines
The displayed guide lines are composed with the image that was previously
taken and way differ from the actual state. Always drive the vehicle while

• It is raining or humid
• Foreign matter (mud etc.) is adhering to the camera
• Sunlight or headlights are shining directly into the camera
• The vehicle is under fluorescent
lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights, etc.

NOTICE
■How to use the camera
●The Multi-terrain Monitor system may not operate properly in the following
cases.
• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has
been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassem- ble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
• Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it cannot transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunc-
tioning.
• When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium light or mer- cury light etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
• The camera can be damaged by flying rocks and other debris.
● Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunc-
tion. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
