Rear view monitor system
The rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in R and the
engine switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without a smart key
system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem).
This reversed image is a similar
image to the one on the inside rear
view mirror.
If you shift the shift lever to any
positions other than R, the screen
is turned off.
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the veh icle with fixed guide lines on
the screen while backing up, for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples,
and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.

Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located as
shown in the
illustration.
● Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.)
is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In
this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the cam-
era lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the v ehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividi ng lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left
and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
