•The RearView Monitor is a convenience fea-
ture but it is not a substitute for proper
backing up. Always turn and look out the
windows, and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operating the ve-
hicle. Always back up slowly.
•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary objects
directly behind the vehicle, to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
•The distance guide line and the vehicle
width 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 ve-
hicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when cleaning
dirt or snow from the lens.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the shift
lever is placed in the R (Reverse) position.
The radio can still be heard while the RearView
Monitor is active. To display the rear view, the RearView Monitor
system uses a camera located just above the
vehicle’s rear license plate

Predicted course lines6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of
the predicted course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED AND
ACTUAL DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations on
the ground are for approximate reference only.
Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or pro-
jecting objects will be actually located at dis-
tances different from those displayed in the
monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to illus-
trations). When in doubt, turn around and view
the objects as you are backing up, or park and
exit the vehicle to view the positioning of
objects behind the vehicle.

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor farther than it appears.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor closer than it appears.
