3-30Pre-driving checks and adjustments
∙ The system cannot completely eliminateblind 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 ap- pear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
∙ Use the displayed lines as a reference. The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.
∙ Make sure that the liftgate is securely 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. Otherwise, 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 malfunc-
tion 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 directly shines 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.
∙ There may be a delay when switching between views.
∙ If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera.
∙ Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

4-22Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
∙ When the shift lever is in the D (Drive)position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in
the front view.
∙ When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in
the rear view. The MOD system will not
operate if the liftgate is open. The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD icon
is not displayed on the screen when in this
view.
When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a yellow frame will be
displayed on the view where the objects are
detected. While the MOD system continues
to detect moving objects, the yellow frame
continues to be displayed.
NOTE:
While the BCI chime (if so equipped) is beep-
ing, the MOD system does not chime.
In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
1is
displayed on each camera image (front, rear,
right, left) depending on where moving ob-
jects are detected.
The yellow frame
2is displayed on each

WARNING
∙ Do not leave children or adults whowould normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
∙ Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con-tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or death.
∙ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are en- tering the vehicle, drive with all windows
fully open, and have the vehicle inspected
immediately. ∙ Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
∙ Do not park the vehicle with the engine running for any extended length of time.
∙ Keep the rear vent windows, liftgates, doors and trunk lids (if so equipped)
closed while driving, otherwise exhaust
gases could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with one
of these open, follow these precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation button
to off and the fan control dial to high
to circulate the air.
∙ If electrical wiring or other cable connec- tions must pass to a trailer through the
seal on the liftgate or the body, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation to
prevent carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle.
∙ The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service. b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Ex-
haust gases in the three-way catalyst are
burned at high temperatures to help reduce
pollutants.
WARNING
∙ The exhaust gas and the exhaust systemare very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
∙ Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam- mable materials such as dry grass, waste
paper or rags. They may ignite and cause
a fire.
