WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor could result in serious
injury or death.
. The RearView Monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and
look out the windows, 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 station-
ary objects directly behind the vehi-
cle, 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 vehicle and displayed
objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.
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.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM LIM-
ITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death. .
The system cannot completely elim-
inate blind spots and may not show
every 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
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
. Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite com-
pared to when viewed in the rear
view and outside mirrors.
. Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tions and road grade.
. Make sure that the liftgate is se-
curely closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is
installed above the license plate.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and

WARNING
.The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width lines should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a paved, level 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.
. Use the displayed lines and the
bird’s-eye view as a reference. The
lines and the bird’s-eye view are
greatly affected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines and the bird’s-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
farther than they appear. When
driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. .
Objects in the monitor will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
. Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
. The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view differs from
actual distance because a wide-
angle lens is used.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
. The displayed lines on the rear view
will appear slightly off to the right
because the rear view camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.

In addition, the non-viewable corners are dis-
played in red (blink for the first 3 seconds)

to remind the drivers to be cautious.
WARNING
.Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther than the actual dis-
tance because the bird’s-eye view is
a pseudo view that is processed by
combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the
front and the rear of the vehicle.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or
vehicle, may be misaligned or not
displayed at the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera
position alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views.
The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the
vehicle.

Guiding lines:
Guiding lines that indicate the width and the
front end of the vehicle are displayed on the
monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
*1shows the front part
of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
*2shows the vehicle
width including the outside mirrors.
The extensions

line.
CAUTION
. The turn signal light may look like
the side-of-vehicle line. This is not a
malfunction.
Difference between predictive and actual
distances
The displayed guidelines and their locations on
the ground are for approximate reference only.
Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in the
monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations) . 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.

How to park with predictive course lines
WARNING
.
If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines may be displayed incorrectly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed in-
correctly. If this occurs, please per-
form the following procedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the engine is
running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is turned
with the ignition switch in the ACC
position, the predictive course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Mov-ing Object Detection system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
.
The MOD system is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact
with the objects surrounding the vehicle. When maneuvering, always
use the outside mirror and rearview
mirror and turn and check the sur-
rounding to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
. The system is deactivated at speeds
above 5 MPH (8 km/h) . It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
. The MOD system is not designed to
detect the surrounding stationary
objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of moving objects when
driving out of garages, maneuvering into parking
lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
. When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
. When the CAMERA button is pushed to
switch from a different screen to the camera
view on the display.
