3-18Pre-driving checks and adjustments
•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
1.

•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.
•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 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
dark environment.
•Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with mild detergent diluted with water.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolou-
ration. To clean the camera, wipe with a
cloth dampened with diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera
1, the RearView Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera by wiping it
with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wiping it with a dry
cloth.
