tires, the predicted course line may not be
displayed correctly.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
•The displayed lines will appear slightly off
to the right because the rear view camera is
not installed in the rear center of the ve-
hicle.
•If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs,

•Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in the
rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road
conditions and road grade.
•Make sure that the lift gate is securely
closed when backing up.
•Do not put anything on the rear view cam-
era. The rear view camera is installed above
the license plate.

pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water may
enter the camera unit causing water con-
densation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or
an electric shock.
•Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction
or cause damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.The following are operating limitations and do
not represent a system malfunction:
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects.
•When strong light shines directly on to the
camera, 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.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
•The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a

•Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with mild detergent diluted with water.
