ent sized tires, the predictive course
line may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the

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.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation 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
objects. .
When strong light is directly coming on 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
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent diluted with
water.

. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera
*1, 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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for the proper use of the Around View
ŠMonitor system could
result in serious injury or death.
. The Around View
ŠMonitor is a
convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where objects cannot be viewed. The four
corners of the vehicle in particular,
are areas where objects do not
always appear in the bird’
s-eye,
front, or rear views. Always check
your surroundings to be sure that it
is safe to move before operating the
vehicle. Always operate the vehicle
slowly.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning
dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The Around View
ŠMonitor system is designed
as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot
parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
All views are not available at all times.
AROUND VIEW ŠMONITOR (if so
equipped)
Available views:
.Front View
The view to the front of the vehicle.
. Rear View
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
. Bird’s-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
. Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
JVH1524X
To display the multiple views, the Around View Š
Monitor system uses cameras*1located in the
front grill, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors and
one just above the vehicle’s license plate.
AROUND VIEW ŠMONITOR SYSTEM

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
apparent distance viewed on the
monitor 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
further 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.
